Talking to Your Grandma About the Conversion from Analog to Digital Broadcasting

All grandmas have been up in a tizzy since those government TV coupon commericals with that nice man started airing, but every time they call their grandkids for an explanation, the confusion continues because they just hear what they want to hear.

Simply roll your mouse over the text to reveal what your grandma hears!

The government is switching all television broadcasting to digital instead of analog.
The government is going to break your TV.
But you already have digital cable.
You have a television and the government is breaking televisions.
I installed your new TV over the summer and I'm sure it will continue to work perfectly.
I know everything about televisions and you should call me whenever you have a question about them.
People with analog connections can get a coupon for a converter box.
Coupon.
But you don't need it.
Coupon.
Your TV is fine.
Coupon.
You should stop worrying.
You should call and have this exact conversation with me again tomorrow.
Ok?
Actually, please call me every time you see that coupon commercial.
Cool.
I love you.
