Senate passes bill to delay digital TV switch – Tech and gadgets- msnbc.com

Senate passes bill to delay digital TV switch – Tech and gadgets- msnbc.com.

President Barack Obama earlier this month called for the transition date to be postponed after the Commerce Department hit a $1.34 billion funding limit for government coupons that consumers may use to help pay for digital TV converter boxes. The boxes, which generally cost between $40 and $80 each and can be purchased without a coupon, translate digital signals back into analog ones for older TVs.

So I guess the right to TV is a high priority.  Not like there hasn’t been enough warnings.  They can keep delaying the transition but people will still not respond and they’ll miss their precious TV.
