This wasn't supposed to be a thread about whether people need TV, or who to blame for this mess*. (*possible mess, it is yet to be seen how bad it will actually be)
Too many people criticize every action of the government as proof they don't know what they are doing. And they are missing some things on this one. But the question is how would you fix it? If it is a problem of not having enough converter boxes at the store (because people bought two when they only needed one to sell the other one on eBay) the government should of done something to prevent it from happening. My idea would be for them to instead buy the converters and give them to the TV stations, then have a bunch of volunteers help their neighbors, friends, and family out.
How would you get an estimated 6.3 million people (nobody knows how many want to upgrade) to be ready for the switch in 8 days?
