I wonder if the retailers will actually pay though?

Interesting.

Our local media are going overboard to educate the public in the region that stretches from the western UP of Michigan to the Arrowhead of Minnesota. They have done many short spots on the local news regarding the switch to digital, the coupons, digital tuners, cable TV and satellite TV and offer complete information via their internet site.

I support the personal responsibility option, though. So should you all; I did not hear about many tears shed for the HD-DVD adopters around here.
