OK, so not quite the end of the month. That's an odd cut-over date.

Starting last Friday the Newton/Needham head-end has been putting up a 
message on the half hour on analog extended basic channels saying that 
if you see the message, you soon won't be able to receive the channel 
unless you upgrade your equipment.
