It's far far too late to be changing the date less than 2 weeks before transition: if there was to be any delay it should have been announced several months ago.
I don't know how advertising has worked in the US but the UK Government has been sending out regular leaflets (every 3 months or so) with reminders about it happening: the last one I got announced the date in our region (it's being done by region in the UK) more than a year in advance, more than enough time.
What the House of Representatives should consider is the method being used in the UK: a 2 stage switch off: we lose one of 5 analogue channels on the given date, with the other 4 going 2 or 4 weeks later (on the same day if the week). That makes it obvious that you need to do something and I believe it would work in the USA.

Soundgraph already make these products (except the E-Z)... I'm assuming that licensing it to Antec is a move to get more sales. Certainly good to see that they're cheaper too.
Not convinced that they'll sell in large numbers though, I certainly don't use the software on my Soundgraph model and the included app isn't a patch on MCE.
