1 month and counting: DTV transition unreadiness now below 3%

It appears all is going well with the DTV switchover being 1 month away, with many people doing what they have to do to make sure they’re ready. Who knows why this didn’t happen in February when it was originally supposed to, but now it seems people are reading the message loud and clear.

Nielsen is reporting its numbers clock in at only 3.3 million or 2.9% of U.S. homes are still not ready for June 12, which is literally D (for digital)-Day. That’s down 200K homes from when we last checked a few weeks ago, and the pace right now is for around 1.5% or so unready by June 12th, which is no reason to delay anything, it would seem.

We’ll keep our eyes on these stats, but now we’re hopeful that the digital age of TV is finally at hand.
