Is the US ready for the switch to DTV?

tonsofpcs writes: "On Monday, September 8, 2008, Wilmington, NC will be the first television market (#135) to make the switch to DTV by shutting off their analog transmitters. This forum will be posting updates throughout the coming months to keep everyone updated on how the transition works so that we are all prepared come February 17, 2009.

So far, it seems Wilmington will still be going ahead as planned, despite Tropical Storm Hanna's proximity."
