Well, it is important to keep people mindless so Congress can keep doing its thing.

As long as I can still get the Lone Ranger program on my TV, no problemo.

The US Congress has approved plans to force broadcasters to switch off their analogue television signals by 2009. So much for free enterprise, and a free market.

As usual the recipients of this "necessity" will be to those who do not pay for it.
Is this a great country or what? I mean what's left of it.

About 16% of US viewers rely on over-the-air transmissions, while more TV sets use only an aerial to watch TV programmes. Huh?

Ah, the national government getting involved again in something that is none of its business. But they're Republican so that means it's alright...

Under the new digital conversion programme, each family will be entitled to $80 (£45) towards the cost of a set-top box. Say what?

The US Congress has approved plans to force broadcasters to switch off their analogue television signals by 2009. The broadcasters were only too happy to take the extra bandwidth allocated for them back in 1997.

There's a great deal of confusion over HDTV and Joe Six Pack still can't buy an affordable HDTV with a tuner built-in. When it shows up at Wal-mart, let me know. I'll upgrade when its time.

That $844 million will come in handy when congress has to buy a digital TV for all who don't have one.
Does one think that it is broadcasters or the cable networks who are behind this? It is the cable network who needs all accesss to TV signals to be digital so they can encode them to protect their property from "free" use.
