I'm personally thrilled, but I can hear the Democrats now when the date starts bearing down: "This discriminates! We have to help the less fortunate buy digital TVs!"

In much the same way as UHF was introduced to our TV tuners in the 60's, new TV sets will have Digital tuners introduced in a phased way over the next two years. For some reason those among the "less fortunate" seem to be able to afford new TVs, so they'll be fine.

The folks who'll need the vouchers are the rest of us, and then only the five percent or so who still have analog sets and view TV over the air. So, I figure even the Dems will have trouble demagoging this issue... not that that'll stop them from trying.
