Are You Ready For The Switch To Digital TV?

Are you ready for the switch to digital tv? I know that I'm not!


While I decided to post about this I got the notion to do a little research online and I come to find out that the switch to digital tv has been extended!


I was hoping and praying that this would happen! I am definitely not ready!

The odd thing about it is that I remember during President Obama's first days in office that there was a mention of him wanting to extend the date to June - mostly because he was concerned about seniors and just those who couldn't financially afford it.

It may be hard to believe but there are those that just can't afford the switch to digital tv! I, myself have a few options and since I have Dish TV then that means that I am ok. However there is one tv set in the kitchen that is on its last legs and since I will have to buy a new tv to replace it I really won't need the digital converter box - but I am still going to get the 2 that the government provides for with those coupons that allow 2 per household - since I am a great believer in government doings since I am a grant researcher.

There are a few other issues however. I have one of those smaller tv/radio-like boom boxes and I don't know how the switch is going to affect that little small tv. Plus I have a tv in the basement that is probably more than 20 years old and it still works great!

Oh well, at least for now I have til June to decide!
