Obama is calling for a postponement of the February deadline for the DTV conversion. In my opinion this is retarded. The reason being is that the government ran out of money to hand out the $40 coupons for people to buy a converter box.
I say tough luck, go buy one on your own or go read a book. I mean come on people, we’ve only been hearing about it every commercial break for over a year and now that its getting down to the wire people are applying in droves. A lot of people are getting them even if they don’t need one…just in case. And why shouldn’t they? If the gov wants to give me something free I’m going to take it. So we got 2 of the coupons and two boxes even though we only really needed one.
I think its funney how the media and the government is so concerned that people might miss the deadline and not be able to watch their tv. They make it sound like TV is as important as eating and sleeping. The boxes are not that expensive $40 for a cheap one that is still fairly decent. So I say go out and buy your own if its that goddamned important. The antenna to receive the channels in the first place had to of cost more, should the gov start handing out coupons for antennas or rabbit ears?
So in short, if you were too lazy to get a discount government coupon then buy your own box or STFU.
P.S. Get off my lawn

I completely agree. I went and got my two boxes and I don't even need one. I gave them to my father-in-law. As you put it though, we've known its coming. If you too stupid to have prepared for it, then so be it. Plus if they are taht worried about it satellite or cable is not that exspensive for basic services. My response, "Shut up and deal with it"
