Have household surveys been done to see if people are really unprepared? Do we know if people have purchased converter boxes or new TVs on their own while waiting for coupons, or gone to cable or satellite? How many rural people get their TV from translators, which can stay analog? i wonder about these numbers — you would think there would be better data available on something so expensive and wide-reaching.
