Just days ago, we heard that the DTV voucher waitlist was completely gone, and now that those have started to flow again, the amount of Americans still unready for the switchover sits at 4.1 million. Compared to right around two months ago, that's definitely a marked improvement from 6.5 million still in the dark, and we fully anticipate that number to continually shrink as we inch closer to June 12th. Of course, there's going to come a time when the figure simply won't fall any lower, as a sliver of those still not ready will, frankly, remain that way. More power to 'em we say -- just keep the booze and bullets locked up and everything will be okay.

Personally, we've never received a title from Netflix that wasn't shipped from a nearby facility, but it seems as if the firm may be resorting to cross-country tactics in order to clear the apparent backlog of HD titles. According to Andy, during his year-long relationship with Netflix, he has yet to receive a disc of any flavor from a hub other than the one closest to his Connecticut domicile, but just today, he received specific word from the outfit that it would be shipping License to Wed on HD DVD from Reno, Nevada. Of course, this could just be a total coincidence, but if it truly is an effort to get more high-definition movies out to more customers regardless of location, we all should see those "Very Long Wait" statuses clear up in the not-too-distant future. Hit us up in comments if you too are expecting an HD DVD / Blu-ray Disc from a faraway hub.

[Thanks, andyg8180]
