Waiting for the Hammer to Drop

Since the events of the past week I have to report with some happiness that I haven't received numerous complaints about "TVs not working". It seems some, or most of you, paid attention to the DTV cutoff and did something about it. Those that haven't, well, you probably also don't have a computer to read this.

Point is, I have seen more casual TV shoppers (for better or for worse; interestingly, mainly female) than in recent memory in a shop like mine. The thing I was dreading were phone call after phone call about signals not coming in anymore, but that seems in my corner of the universe to have been temporarily avoided.

Let's hope that people that use TV as a lifeline to the outside world, or in the case of many, offer the only companionship in their lives, find a way to keep the boob tube burning.
