I forget which channel I was watching, but they all have been talking about digital switchover lately during their nightly 2 hour block of info-tainment (I mean "news"). I suppose this is because the date is now less than a year away.
Anyways, they are cross-promoting with a local appliance chain (ABC) and they cutaway to a display at the store that showed two TV screens behind a piece of plywood labeled "digital" and "analog". Guess what happened? The digital screen froze, then pixelated!
Needless to say, they cut back real quick while acting like that just didn't happen!
