On February 17, 2009 all full-power broadcast television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting on analog airwaves and begin broadcasting only in digital. Digital broadcasting will allow stations to offer improved picture and sound quality and additional channels. Find out more about whether or not you will be impacted by the digital TV (DTV) transition.
We have been seeing the commercials for months. The date is burned into our minds and there is no way we can every say - we didn't know. I am curious how many people it will affect. How many people are not hooked up to cable and have to buy a box to watch any kind of TV? Well, for one, we do.
Let me say, we are not TV poor. we have four TV's hooked to cable but there is a little one in the kitchen is not and we are out of cable hook ups. We will not be buying a converter box and will have to do without. Don't feel sorry for us, we need a life.
So it should come as no surprise that when a certain group of people in our culture started vocalizing about their lack of TV concerns, I understood. Seems that those who have been incarcerated and are serving time in our prison system are worried and in distress about what is going to happen to them. They have probably seen the commercials too. They know what is coming...and what is not coming.
Not sure if they would qualify for a coupon for a converter box. Not sure what is the right thing to do. Pretty sure you won't be seeing a telethon for converter boxes for prisoners. Making do looks different, depending on your view...
