Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't TV stations still allowed to cut off their analog transmissions whenever they want? I thought the mandate just FORCED them to stop their analog transmissions, but they were allowed to stop transmitting analog signals whenever they wanted. I figure that since many TV stations were ready for it, (a few local stations here were planning to shut it off on the 10th) they might still go ahead with it. Maybe, maybe not.
