I admit I am totally ignorant of this whole situation I do understand the science behind it. Actually I think it is because I don't care. I see these scare commercials all the time to go out and buy a box for the switch. However with the cost of the boxes they describe it seems more logical to just go out and buy a new TV that works with cable or get rid of there TV and use a radio. If one has cable does one still need to do this? I thought everyone these days has cable else they may just as well throw there TV out the window since they are not watching to much anyway.
