The Switch To Digital TV Delayed, Again!
Anyone operating old-fashioned rabbit ears or roof top antenna to get television signals at home has been given a reprieve before they’ll have to make changes to tune into digital television.
The nation was due to can analog television broadcasts in exchange for digital signals by midnight Feb. 17, but an act of Congress President Barack Obama is set to sign moved the date to June 12.
Apparently, millions of couch potatoes didn’t have the equipment necessary to make the switch and the new deadline gives them more time to hook up. When the nation cans analog television broadcasts in exchange for digital signals, you’ll need a digital TV, digital subscriber service (satellite or cable) or a digital converter to stay tuned to regularly broadcast television.
