I hope we can watch it tonight!

It was delayed on a voluntary basis. Between 1/3 and 1/2 of stations went ahead and crossed over to digital on the 17th.

I read that production of the boxes was greatly slowed after the coupons ran out and the Bush administration indicated that they would not request further funding. After the Obama administration got new funding, production was ramped back up but it will be mid April before you see supplies reappear in the stores.
