Not Worth the Effort

How many people out there realize that current analog televisions will cease to work on February 17, 2009? That is the date that the United States is supposed to switch to exclusively digital TV broadcasts. Part of the plan is to offer government subsidized converter boxes to every household that does not have a digital TV. This could cost up to $1B! At least we have our priorities straight....

Representative John Dingell made news by suggesting that the DTV transition could be delayed.
