DTV Transition
On Monday, the Senate approved a new date for the transition to digital television – June 12. Congress will soon follow suit. Is it really necessary to delay this anymore? PSA have been floating around for a while now, and people have had plenty of time to pick up a converter box. Will this change of date confuse the people who have bought new HD TV’s and other new electronics for the transition? Are there not enough converter boxes to go around?

I think there should be a test transition, if possible, before the actual change. If people are unable to get channels, they can call their local TV company for instructions.

    Channel 32 has been having a test every once in awhile. They would specify a time and just run some words saying that it is a test and that the normal programs will be back in a few minutes.

    I think that they should of kept the original date but President Obama thought that the people would not be ready. I mean really everyone has known about this for almost a year!

    Seriously, if there is going to be a massive problem, there will be a massive problem no matter when they do it. Four months will fly by FAST.
