Four More Months to Procrastinate

So now the digital TV transition date has been moved to June 12th. Why? I was really looking forward to February 17th and the end of hearing all about the the digital transition crap. Now all the procrastinators can just put it off for four more months. Sure, all the $40 coupons may be gone, and $50 might be a lot of money for some people, but it’s only TV. People can survive without it you know. If you can’t afford $50 for a converter box that you have had years to save up for, maybe you shouldn’t be watching TV.

I have been using rabbit ears to pick up our locals in HD for a couple years now. For some stupid reason, our locals are on cable in HD but not DirecTV. For the most part they come in good, but there are some days when they don’t. I have heard that once the transition to only digital is complete, the signal might be stronger. If that’s the case then I am cool, if not I plan on investing in a better antenna. Now I will have to wait four more months to find out. I just don’t see the point in putting it off for four more months.
