Spurred by news that the converter-box coupon had run out of money, President-Elect Obama asked Congress today to delay the DTV transition, which is currently scheduled for TVB's 10th anniversary, Feb. 17, 2009.
Guess I'll stop working on that hybrid logo now ....
Oh what a joke! This whole program is a scam. If this were 1989, instead of 2009, I could understand the concern in making sure nobody is without a TV signal, but as someone who grew up with analog TV on a farm in Illinois, let me tell you - even the cows have digital TV now. This "panic" is just so we throw more money at somebody. And I am sick to death of those crawlers reminding us all, as if there's been a damn tornado ripped through town, that the DTV date is Feb. 17th. We know. And those who weren't smart enough to get it yet, can sit in the dark.
