- In other words, the delay is all about the broadcasters
- being ready, NOT about the poor, confused public...

D'Oh ! The Broadcasterd are already transmitting in
both Analog and Digital : Thus They Are R-E-A-D-Y
to Turn-Off the Analog and start Saving Power and
Reducing their Operating Costs.

Once Again :
The HDTV Transition Is A Bogus Crisis !

What the US Federal Government should have done
was to make the Coupons good for the purchase of
a new HDTV Set with a $100 Value -or- the purchase
of a HDTV Converter Box with a $40 Value and given
US Consumers a "Choice".
