One of the funniest things I'v seen in a while.

Ironically the elderly are the MOST prepared for digital television - only 2% are not yet ready.

It's the young people (less than 30) who are least prepared, at 9% not ready. I suspect the reason is because young people don't watch TV anymore. They just use the internet.

As a whole, 95% of the nation is ready.

I love when she tries to cut the cord!

[garagerockermadrid]

she's lovely!

[klstehn]

that lady reminds me of my great-aunt, hehe! This video his hilarious!

[Kingnothing8585]

LOL, it's funny 'cause it's true

[Linkstman]

lol dtv transison sucks

[thoughtchallenge]

Besides being funny there was a lot of truth in this video. Those of us who can should help the elderly, many of them depend on Television for news and entertainment.

Some installations will need to convert to coax, requiring coax cable and an outdoor coax antennae adapter(similar to the one connecting to TV, but with a protective boot).

Also, rural areas such as the one I live in are losing channels due to weak signals, so I hope stations are given permission to increase their signals.

President Barack Obama has signed the bill extending the DTV date from Feb. 17 to June 12.

His transition team had called for the date to be moved, and the bill was passed a week ago. But the president had pledged to put bills out for a five-day public comment period, which he did with the DTV bill.

[Kitsuneranger]

Hate to bust ya bubble man, but the June 12th date is optional. as i speak most of the stations in the US are sticking to tthe Feb. 17th date

[ajmrowland]

lol

[3milesmile]

I wish they'd do it already! I'm sick of hearing about it.

[ajmrowland]

Seriously?

[MadamePamita]

i LOVE that old lady! She is awesome!

[masfoh]

So many old people are going to crap their pants when their analog CBS signal goes bye-bye. It is going to be awesome.

[BBiebigheiser]

Poor ol' lady just wants to see Jack Benny again! :)

[rdf1947]

Very funny. I can relate.

[doitright2007]

LOVE IT!

[Monitor1CC]

"Will this bring back Jack Benny?" lol Seriously though, I feel bad for the elderly/lower income folks. But I think once they switch they'll be happy. I have friends using the converter w/a 32 inch tube Sanyo and I was surprised at how much better it looked even on a standard TV. Local stations need to boost their signals in some areas though. Here you can go from watching an entire hour long drama in 1080i with no hiccups to a 30 min sitcom lagging the whole time.

[wareaglebabe11]

lol this is great lol

[beantown28]

wah wah wah... LMFAO too funny. That mandatory switch really does suck though.

[fugiboo]

Obama might change it to after february 17.

[cadge31]

Ha. That's EXACTLY how old people are. God, I hope I'm not like that someday.

[sueq432]

Ha. that's EXACTLY how young people are. Lumping all elderly or handicapped or foreigners, etc.,etc. into one group. I am OLD. God, I hope Im not like you someday. By the way, there are many very wonderful younger people...I'm using this as an example of incorrect thinking.

[deepfreezevideo]

I'm old too, but I thought it was very funny.

So quitcher belly achin and lighten up fer Chrissake.

[ajmrowland]

It's an exaggeration. A lot of Young ppl don't think like that.

[Robina0877]
