Digital TV switch...as written by Homer

[Cryptic79]

I think it's called "The Odyssey." Homer was just several centuries ahead of his time. The war was really about this.

How long must it continue? 6.5M houses out of ~110M. Less than 6% is an acceptable loss.

Please pull the plug!

Whoa whoa whoa...whoa.

They're pulling the plug on my antenna TV? Why was I not informed? If there were a government backed plan to get everyone some sort of digital converter box and adequate time for me to react to this switch, maybe things would have gone a little smoother.

They actually pushed the switch back 'til June. So, you have a few more months.

Stupid Congress. Just do it already.

Actually, I don't even care as long as my Dish fees don't go up and they get rid of the obnoxious commercials.

I've been using digital antennae since Voom started broadcasting in 2004. How can people still not be aware that this is happening. If they wait for everyone that has procrastinated this long, they will never switch.
