Homes in foreclosure and, yet, HDTV?
It will be interesting to hear the wailing from the TV broadcast industry
and its advertisers after a huge audience is eliminated by forcing the insane HDTV nonsense down our throats in 2009. I for one am telling every advertiser I do business with that I will not see any of their ads after that date. Jeez, Louise...hundreds of thousands of homes in foreclosure, the ****tiest economy in my life, $4 for a lousy gallon of gas, a trip to the grocery store is a painfully expensive process and every one I know has been layed off. AND THESE PRICKS THINK WE'RE GOING TO RUSH OUT A BUY EQUIPMENT TO RECEIVE THEIR ASSININE DIGITAL SYSTEM? The ones to blame are those in Washington but equally culpable are the sycophants in the TV industry to sat by and allowed it to happen. I'm glad I'm not spending any money on TV advertising that few people will see after 2009. Besides, there are so few creative writers left in the industry that TV has had to rely on this insipid "reality" shows. Yawn. |

Dude if you have cable or satellite TV you don't need a digital converter.
It's only $49.00 and the government gives you a rebate or something. I think by now most people have one of the above services. That old roof top antenna delivers just a few stations anyway. |

In the US, the poverty level is defined such that many of 'the poor' own homes, cars, have air conditioning, and not one, but two color TV's. The 'poor' in this country, do not live in tribal conditions in the veldt. I'm always amused when looking for garage sales on the weekend, to drive through low end neighborhoods, and count the number of highly accessorized high end cars and SUV's in front of tiny boxes that haven't been painted in this decade. And then drive through higher end neighborhoods and count the number of Chevy Cavaliers in front of McMansions. People live according to their priorities. And they often define quality living by the number of toys. |

Yeah, and I bought it almost 5 years ago with 63K on it and brand new tires. Got it for $600. Actually owned by a 'little old lady' who passed away at 90+ years. |
