I don't know about everyone else; but, in my area, there is no reason for anyone not to be aware of the DTV transition unless they have been living under a rock for the past two years. Yes, there may be people that don't understand the whole DTV thing; but, I don't see how they could not at least be aware of it. During almost every commercial break, there are ad's about the DTV transition and there are crawlers running during regular programming. I've seen several 30 minute infomercials and they bring up the subject every day on the local news.
I can't speak for everyone else on the Magnavox/Funai converter boxes; but, my cousin and sister both have the Magnavox boxes and they have not failed after several months of use. Believe me, I'd know about it if they failed. I will agree that they are about the most user unfriendly box out there; but, they get the job done. I tried to talk my relatives into spending the extra $10 on a better box; but, they are tighter than I am!
