"The Senate has passed -- and so has the House, with differences -- an entitlement to digital television. If this filigree on the welfare state becomes law, "
I have seven televisions.... I should get seven times as much entitlement, right?

Requiring digital tv will cost many people quite a bit of money. For example, for me it will require that I change from basic/extended cable to digital cable. It will cost me to do that.
The bill in congress will not pay for monthly cable charges. It is a one time payment. My guess it would give you at best a converter that will allow analog TVs to get over the air digital. Without a converter, those without cable will no longer be able to get any TV station.
BTW, knowing the the government was going to force me to go to digital, my newest tv is a 30 inch Sony HDTV and as my son says, I am still too cheap to get digital cable.
