Digital Television Delay Vote Delayed

"Digital TV switch could be delayed by vote"
CNN (January 27, 2009)

"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Congress postponed until Wednesday a vote on an emergency measure to delay until June next month's scheduled death of television as you've known it.

"Senators, worried about the static they'll see when the plug is pulled on analog television broadcasts in the United States, approved the bill by unanimous consent Monday...."

At this rate, it could be June before Congress actually votes.

While they're at it, maybe we should all ask for free digital television sets. Widescreen, of course.
