We'll then have 500 channels and nothing on. Progress!

The final bill includes up to $1.5 billion in funding to provide two $40 vouchers per household to use toward the purchase of digital-to-analog set-top converter boxes.Un-Freepin' Believable!

Nothing changes as long as you have cable or satellite.

Just in time for the NEW administration to catch the blame when millions of grannies and people on fixed incomes watch their screens go blank and are told they must pay thousands to watch tv again. Brilliant!

Legislation requiring U.S. broadcasters to abandon their analog spectrum, opening up the "beachfront" spectrum to next-generation wireless services and emergency response agencies, is headed to U.S. President George Bush to be signed into law. WOW!
I'm so glad that Congress has solved all out country's problems so they can focus on our TV reception!
Would someone point out the part in the Constitution that allows congress to tell broadcasters HOW they must send out their signals?

Hard to say, but probably. You will most likely need to buy a converter, though.

The sane response to the utterly unoriginal knee-jerk reaction to the spending bill is this: gummint requires, gummint pays, end of discussion!

If you don't have cable, then you can probably buy a broadcast converter box, but it would probably be half the price of a new TV.
