SENATE SAYS YES TO DIGITAL DELAY


So the Senate has made one of it's first big decisions of the year that's going to effect millions of folks out in rural America. They've just approved a four month delay on the big change to HD. This is of course thanks to our new President Obama.

Obama was concerned that the older generation would have trouble converting and from what I've read a lot of those converter boxes aren't really all that they're cracked up to be. Plus the fund that was created to cover the cost of the boxes ($40) ran out and there would be 2.6 Million people without television if the change were to happen next month like it was originally planned.
Nice to see that folks are on their jobs...Bobby Digital! (now who remembers that?)
