Some will convert February 17th but the rest will wait until later. Who knows if that new date is even solid, though.
Still, it should not that complicated. You need a converter box and an antenna that receives UHF signals. Even simpler would be to get a new digital-ready television set. That is what I’d do.

Later, Congress mandated that February 17, 2009 would be the last day for full-power television stations to broadcast in analog. Broadcast stations in all U.S. markets are currently broadcasting in both analog and digital. After February 17, 2009 extend to march 2009, full-power television stations will broadcast in digital ONLY.
The SWITCH from …
The SWITCH from analog to digital broadcast television is referred to as the digital TV (DTV) transition. In 1996, the U.S. Congress authorized the distribution of an additional broadcast channel to each broadcast TV station so that they could start a digital broadcast channel while simultaneously continuing their analog broadcast channel.

you will have to pay for cable TV making free TV a thing of the pass. The 4 months delay is because of the BAILOUT!. 400+billion. America MOST EXPENSIVE TV WOW!This DTV is the all seeing eye in your home, soon to be in the future at a home near you. If you can not afford TV signal, you are a true COW man…:). TV is history.
Yes!DTV will end …
Yes!DTV will end free TV.Currently some customer with DTV customer does not receive signal by air wave.Making them have to pay for cable TV.Digital signal is weaker than analog signal.Analog signal is able to bounce of build and objective and still maintain signal with the TV,a digital signal will not. I have study this topic and many other radio wave in tech school.Once DTV is fully in effect. The transmitter signal can weaken below 20db signal(manually).A weak signal will provide NO SERVICE.
This is not true …
This is not true they Congress said yes but then someone else said leave it the same and it is still feb 17.
We OWN the air. …
We OWN the air. Support your fellow citizens. the corporations. telecom.
YOU are willing to give banks BILLIONS of unaccounted for dollars. YOU are willing to allow delays and accomidations for corrupt businesses who ask for a handout. YOU are willing to spend over a trillion taxpayer dollars to help the greedy, irresponsible BUSINESSES who got us into this mess….
… But when we ask to help 5% of our CITIZENS, you selfish media whores balk and scream MURDER.
hypocrates
hey people! the …
hey people! the house voted against the delay of DTV, yet.
Don’t buy it. It’s …
Don’t buy it. It’s waste of money. Save your money for food.
Government is out of money….
And what excuse …
And what excuse will they come up with June 12 for delaying this *yet again*? Stay “tuned” – they’ll think of something.
Of course, it would’ve helped if a lot of the people who didn’t need those vouchers in the first place would have left them for the people who *do* need them.
This has gotten beyond silly. And now we’ll have to put up with that scrolling reminder *at least* 4 1/2 more months.
oh, relax. another …
oh, relax. another few months will give the poor people who can’t afford the converter box time to get one. (and time for congress to fund more $40. coupons toward their purchase)
TV should be free- the government makes a fortune auctioning off the airwaves- that’s OUR air- TV is a democratic medium- it should be available to everyone- not just those who can afford to keep up with the HD Joneses.
omg im so ******* …
omg im so ******* tired of hearing so much crap of switching over to digital television….if people cant afford cable or satelite tv…then get the ****** box already…sign up for the coupon and wait for them….but come on there is no excuse for the delay of four more months!! ive been hearing this every single freakin day….its people’s fault if they cant see tv anymore
