Report: FCC states DTV transition going well

Well, the DTV transition finally happened, and no significant problems have been reported so far overall. Which leads us to wonder: what the heck took so long? But it appears waiting a little longer did smooth things out a little bit.

They report over 700,000 phone calls the last few days, but most were resolved in just a few minutes. So we’re happy to report the digital age of TV has begun, and more channel choice by cable and other providers should be forthcoming in the next few months/years.

Most common problem: Needing to rescan their box to get all the channels once again (a necessity depending on where you live and your setup).
