Earlier I made comments about Mobile DTV. Here's more about that system from CES this year

and its parent organization: www.omvc.org
I still can't tell if it will be free on things like cell phones but it should be free on other mobile devices yet to come.
And yes, Obama did make some remarks about DTV roll out (just google "Obama DTV" for citations). IMO, way too little WAY too late. Such a move would only serve to make the FCC look like a bunch of boob tubes. I think he's trying too hard to please the poor (pandering almost, geez, he's already elected).
Frankly, at least one poor person I know could easily afford a converter box if he would stop smoking for just under a week. It's all about priorities for some.
As ljbeng pointed out, don't get too used to reception and antenna positions until after the changeover.
