Can we switch already?

Last night I was watching TV. big surprise, right? Unless you've been under a rock, or not watching TV for the past year or so, then you know that in February, there is supposed to be some kind of big switch to digital hd tv or something. I have cable, so i don't have to worry about having to get any of the fancy equipment, or a new TV...although it would be nice to get one. *HINT* *HINT* lol

Anyway, on quite a few stations they were running the warning across the bottom of the screen non-stop. Even during the commercial breaks! Can we just switch already so we can stop hearing about this. They were running these things more than they do emergency notices! How sad is that?!?
