Just a quick note to let you know that yesterday, pushed by the Obama administration, the Senate approved to delay the transition to digital television signals until June 12. The date was originally scheduled to be next month, Feburary 17.
That means the transition - expected to leave millions of households at least temporarily without TV pictures - will take place after the TV season is over, not during the all-important February sweeps!
So thatgives anyone who needs it more time to geta converter box for your analog television or sign up for cable or satellite service.

The Obama administration has apparently sought a delay for the upcoming switch to Digital TV. The analog TV signal was (and still is at this time) slated to be turned off on February 17, but the government program to provide coupons for converter boxes needs more money. The new administration hopes to enact legislation to provide for an extension of analog service through June 12.

It is currently estimated that more than 6.5 million households are not prepared for the switch over. Those folks who rely on a rooftop TV antenna are the ones who will need converter boxes in order to continue receving programming. If you have cable or satellite service, you should go uninterrupted with the changeover.
