For some reason this little change in television broadcasting has really ticked me off. In case you haven’t heard, TV broadcasters across the country were going to stop broadcasting in analog and switch over to the better digital transmission. They were all going to do this on the exact same day, February 17, 2009. If you used cable or satellite you wouldn’t be affected, only those who use antennas were going to lose their signal. To help ease the switch, you could get a voucher for a FREE converter box!! And to top it all off we have been warned of this impending date for MONTHS!! There really shouldn’t be much of a surprise here. But now, in typical American/Human fashion there’s fear that not everyone will be ready for the switch. It’s like it suddenly just jumped out of nowhere and we were all so shocked by it. So Obama and others pushed for an extension of the date and actually got it. And not a little extension mind you, June 12!! Four months?! Are you kidding me?! Everything was set, ready to go. Now the lazy slugs that couldn’t actually pay attention to anything, get another four months to screw around and still not be ready. $10 says there is another date change. Thank you for letting me vent. I feel better. :)
