This Friday, broadcasters will stop sending out analog signals and make the DTV transition. However, even with an extended digital TV deadline imposed, an estimated 3 million homes are not prepared to make the transition. This represents roughly 2.5 percent of the television market.
Nielsen released the report this Wednesday and it showed that elderly households were the most prepared to make the transition. African American, Asian and Hispanic households were the least prepared according to figures. Location also played a factor with most TV owners from the East prepared to make the switch while many of the Western state residents lacked the equipment necessary to receive digital TV signals.
The good news is that figures show that almost twice as many households are now prepared for the DTV switch since the February delay. Once analog signals stop, it is expected that the rest of the households will be lining up to purchase converter boxes required for the switch.
