Actually since I will still be able to watch OTA stuff on the old sets with the convertors, and I always watch them using a VCR tuner and channel 3 anyway, it isn't going to bother me much. (I don't have cable.) I think I'll do like a commemorative vigil thing where I have all my sets turned on to some vhf channel at the moment they pull the plug and watch them go to static. I wonder if all the vhf/uhf stations are all supposed to be pulled at the same time and day or what?
