TV Signals Tuned in Until June
Good news regarding the transition to digital television. The House this week joined the Senate in approving a delay for the switch from analog to digital transmission, and President Obama has said he will sign the bill.
The action will move from Feb. 17 to June 12 the date when households without cable or satellite can access television without a special converter box.
As former President Bush left office, financing for the government’s coupon program, meant to subsidize the cost of converter boxes, had temporarily run out, placing millions of households on a waiting list.
