  • Watching a great educatiolal program in digital tv and all of a sudden burppp grobble..... dit ga whit mit ump up ---. Great fuckimg weak ass signal!! Who's i the dumb ass that thought of this crap? However when some dunb ass cooking show , faggot flower garden show chico and the beaners or better yet a fund raising for public tv, is on a thunder storm wouldn't interupt the signal. Good ole analog worked good and lasted a long time.so here comes gov'mt to fuck things up! Typical assholes!!

  • im glad they didn't delay it again because i would be more pissed.

  • In other words the communists have taken over.

  • NWO

  • THe government is going to give us free digital tv, anf to everyone? Sounds fishy to me. It makes no sense. It is obviously a way for the government to spy on everyone.

  • Yes the Government uses TV to spy on people all the time :p

  • Some will convert February 17th but the rest will wait until later. Who knows if that new date is even solid, though.

    Still, it should not that complicated. You need a converter box and an antenna that receives UHF signals. Even simpler would be to get a new digital-ready television set. That is what I'd do.

  • The SWITCH from analog to digital broadcast television is referred to as the digital TV (DTV) transition. In 1996, the U.S. Congress authorized the distribution of an additional broadcast channel to each broadcast TV station so that they could start a digital broadcast channel while simultaneously continuing their analog broadcast channel.

  • Later, Congress mandated that February 17, 2009 would be the last day for full-power television stations to broadcast in analog. Broadcast stations in all U.S. markets are currently broadcasting in both analog and digital. After February 17, 2009 extend to march 2009, full-power television stations will broadcast in digital ONLY.

  • You are un-educated for the way you speak. We can tell you don`t know jack about technology. I live in NEW YORK, your wish city.LOL. you should try and free your self from that $10.00 trailer. Smart people will fine the truth. would you like if the gov give you part of the $400+ billion to buy a home? We know your brain is chain to the TV. you lack knowledge and experience. Are you part of the DUMB American family tree?. You poor communist supporter, with welfare and coupons U are HATE.

  • hahahahahahahaha u live in new york and ur calling me a cow????? Look at your fuck'n dirty overrated shitty ass obest city. New york please that city can kiss my ass. I am not communist and yes i know alot more about technology then you do dumbass. Why the fuck'n hate?????? i was just pointing out i have that freedom dumbass. Yes digital tv is better. Go get a fuck'n life loser.

  • I got an idea that makes it easier for everybody for everybody no need for an coupon. JUST MAKE THE FUCK'N CONVERTER BOX 10.00 Fuck'n dollars. It's that simple. While everyone is going to get a picture. 50 dollars omg!!!!!!! are you fuck'n serious. The government can't be that worried if the price is an arm and a leg.

  • Yes!DTV will end free TV.Currently some customer with DTV customer does not receive signal by air wave.Making them have to pay for cable TV.Digital signal is weaker than analog signal.Analog signal is able to bounce of build and objective and still maintain signal with the TV,a digital signal will not. I have study this topic and many other radio wave in tech school.Once DTV is fully in effect. The transmitter signal can weaken below 20db signal(manually).A weak signal will provide NO SERVICE.

  • RETARD!, stop speaking for your self. I have the freedom of choice. I own/pay for satellite TV, no media brainwash.

  • This is not true they Congress said yes but then someone else said leave it the same and it is still feb 17.

  • We OWN the air. Support your fellow citizens. Fuck the corporations. Fuck telecom.

    YOU are willing to give banks BILLIONS of unaccounted for dollars. YOU are willing to allow delays and accomidations for corrupt businesses who ask for a handout. YOU are willing to spend over a trillion taxpayer dollars to help the greedy, irresponsible BUSINESSES who got us into this mess....

    ... But when we ask to help 5% of our CITIZENS, you selfish media whores balk and scream MURDER.

    hypocrates

  • hey people! the house voted against the delay of DTV, yet.

  • Don't buy it. It's waste of money. Save your money for food.

    Government is out of money....

  • And what excuse will they come up with June 12 for delaying this *yet again*? Stay "tuned" - they'll think of something.

    Of course, it would've helped if a lot of the people who didn't need those vouchers in the first place would have left them for the people who *do* need them.

    This has gotten beyond silly. And now we'll have to put up with that scrolling reminder *at least* 4 1/2 more months.

  • omg im so ******* tired of hearing so much crap of switching over to digital television....if people cant afford cable or satelite tv...then get the ****** box already...sign up for the coupon and wait for them....but come on there is no excuse for the delay of four more months!! ive been hearing this every single freakin day....its people's fault if they cant see tv anymore

  • Stupid ass congress. Stupid ass customers.

  • oh, relax. another few months will give the poor people who can't afford the converter box time to get one. (and time for congress to fund more $40. coupons toward their purchase)

    TV should be free- the government makes a fortune auctioning off the airwaves- that's OUR air- TV is a democratic medium- it should be available to everyone- not just those who can afford to keep up with the HD Joneses.

    GAY!!~~!~!!!~~~!!!

    fuckin congress!!!

    ....they better at least add some porn channels when DTV airs

  • I thought several agencies were ready to use the newly available bandwidths because the main reason for going digital was to free up more frequencies for cellphone and emergency service transmissions.

  • Good grief, we have been hearing about this non stop.

    There is no excuse for you if you cant get a damn box

  • 2nd!

  • no one gives a fuck, faggot.

    go die in a fire

  • ... It is as simple as getting a box. Don't blame the people doing the switch when its the moron consumer who is too stupid to know you need a cable.
