Wow… the entire nation is getting a coupon to be able to buy themselves a converter so they can still get Fox after the migration to digital television? That’s amazing. Out here (The Netherlands, Europe…you know, where the dutch ovens come from) we are years away from switching to digital. I doubt if the government will ever have a say in it though. Then again, they do want to prohibit the use of the old light bulb and force us to use these new incandescant things (I want LEDs!) so who knows what will happen.

The House voted it down. Unless the Senate re-writes it to House satisfaction and pushes it through, the switch is still happening.

This is just a poor idea all around. They delayed analog switchover by 3 years because “the people weren’t ready.” What can they do in three months that they couldn’t do in years? Of course, they made some gross miscalculations trying to determine how much money to allot to the DoC for this, but those who didn’t their coupons when there were messages everywhere should wait with snow until the coupons replenish. Besides Verizon/Google/etc. owns that airspace now, and any delay in the switchover prevents them from testing/rolling out things like WiMAX.

Ugh, this means I’m going to have to type up yet another freakin’ press release about the switch and converter boxes and “What This Means To You, The Consumer.” Screw you, stay of execution!
…Which is weird coming from me, since I voted against the switch to digital in the first place.

I thought they postponed voting on the stay. Silly me, that’s why I’m not a nerd.
