Analog to Digital
For what seems like years and years now, we have been watching those commercials about the switch from Analog television to Digital television. There have been many commercials on every channel, scroll bars while you're trying to watch your favorite tv show, and even a little reminder of which signal you have at the bottom of your screen. We get it! February 17, 2009 we are changing over to DTV! Finally, it is almost here and all those annoying reminders will go away. But no! This new president of ours wants to delay it?!
I don't care if you're out of money, there are other solutions to that other than delaying it. Do that whole rebate thing, where someone can buy it now, and send in a rebate to get reimbursed when the money is available. Or make a deal with the companies selling it, and have a little "financial" aid system where the company will get reimbursed if the people getting the converter box can't afford it.
They just showed a clip on our local television about how older people are having trouble understanding this transition. They need more time to get the box and understand it all. They even had an older person saying how she just didn't understand it all, and needed more time to figure it all out. We have known about this transition for YEARS now. Commercials and reminders have been around like crazy, they have had plenty of time to ask for help or to figure it out. It is going to happen. Whether it is now or in 6 months. And no matter what, they'll have to figure it out some way. Why delay it? They've had plenty of time!
It's just driving me crazy!!!!
