If you don’t know already…Best Buy to begin program to educate about the DTV transition

For the rather small amount of you (5% or so to be exact) that the delay to DTV was passed for, apparently some Best Buy locations will be starting hourly announcements in-store, to let those people know about the switchover, so no one can claim they didn’t know. New ads regarding the June 12th switchover have started as well.

And if that isn’t enough: they’ll have personnel walking around in “DTV Blackout Prevention” t-shirts letting people know about the transition. As if most people didn’t know already, but still…we applaud the extra effort given to the subject by Best Buy, and hope this eliminates any confusion regarding the change.

But…we implore those of you reading this who might not be prepared (who care about TV, we assume, and we safely assume you do if you’re reading this site): please save your pennies over the next 4 months and buy a DTV converter box, so that Congress and the House don’t have to strain themselves again with another delay.
