It did not occur to me that I would get the extra channels. I get them now on the hdtv. Now I am kinda excited.
Did you have to change antennas?

I did not change antenna; I have rabbit-ears with a UHF loop on top of the set.
I paid only $10 after coupon for a Motorola machine. It came with a jumper cable & batteries for the remote. The book calls the extra channels "sub-channels" & I now have 4 PBS sub-channels!
My local Fox outlet however has not made the change is is still on analog only.
I see Obama is trying to forestall the switch:

Obama calls for digital switch delay
US president-elect Barack Obama has asked Congress to consider postponing the switchover to digital television, to give the government time to fix a consumer help programme that ran out of money this week.
The incoming administration is concerned that millions of US viewers will lose access to TV services if the switchover deadline, on February 17, is not moved.

I say let it be. There is a veritable barrage of advertising already, and nothing like the screen going blank to get the message out that change is afoot.
Really; I think it should go as already scheduled for the 17th. Make a great Valentine gift!
