FCC says DTV transition going smoothly, few TVs shot up

Well, the DTV transition finally went down, and after the endless delay and countless arguments, it seems as though June 12 hit with more of a whimper than a bang: the FCC says there haven’t been any widespread service disruptions, and although the agency’s toll-free help lines recorded 700,000 support calls between June 8 and June 12, most converter box issues were resolved in less than five minutes by a simple channel re-scan. Similarly, we can’t say we’ve heard of any particularly big problems out there, so really, we’re just wondering what the hell took so long.
