| Save The way I see it.
This switchover isn't going to happen for another two years.
If you SAVE twenty five cents a day (that's 1.75 a week) for the next two years, you could buy four and a half converters (assuming that the converters actually sell for forty dollars). Voila, no need for an entitlement.
This saving strategy might also help one get out of debt, bad living conditions, etc. | |

| GOP thinks everyone has a plasma HDTV As Republicans say, f$%% the people who can't afford a plasma or high-def screen! If we don't give a crap about health care for the elderly, why do you think we care about a family whose primary breadwinner is making less than $10/hr. Halliburton needs to be paid!!! War = profits!!! Only $500 billion for Iraq, but the $50 billion being spent to send another man to the moon by 2015 will make Americans smile again. Weeeeeeeee!!!  | |

| Uh - so where's the conversion box? All the talk about $40 coupons for each household to buy a converter box. But I have not seen any converter box for existing analog TV that cost $40. Hell, I don't even see the converter box on sale.
Maybe by 2009, the converter box magically appears? | |

Montgomery, PA | missing the problem... Everybody is missing the big problem with the analog cutoff: even if the converters were free (which they should be), it's not going to help the people that can get a watchable analog signal but not a decodable digital signal. | |

Sudbury, MA | How many people Will still be on antenna, not cable, and still have non HD TVs? Seems that everyone I know has cable.

1 edit | Hmmm redneck hillbilly states... I can only guess who wants analog to stay....The States that populates most of the redneck/hillbillies that can't afford digital or HD....99.9% of them can't even afford to have analog as it is. They start service can't pay their bill...then the cable companies foot the bill on the customers by raising their prices.... | |
