oh, and those little emergency radio tv sets you all have. the tv
portion won't be any good for regular broadcasts after next month.
(there are not any lptv tstations or translators that can be picked up
from here and even if there were, they don't transmit very far even
with a good outdoor roof antenna for a reciever.)

And those will probably eventually switch to digital also.

And even the radio stations are already in the process of switching to
digital hd radio.

So all your crank-up emergency radios and portable battery operated tv
sets and radios will all eventually be useless for recieving regular
tv and radio broadcasts.


They'll still receive radio for quite some time.

Our government is already giving voice to delaying the analog TV shutoff
date, because they've run out of money for the converter coupon plan, and
there are still millions that won't have any television at all when the
analog is shut down. They're trying to figure out what to do about all
that..

There is talk here that the switch to digital TV may not take place as scheduled
in February due to various reasons.

What a bunch of pussies! We've known it's going to hurt when it
happens. Just do it!
