So I’m reading this article about how the Senate unanimously decided to delay the digital transition by four months to give more people time to prepare for it. Just waiting for it to become official. Now unless you’ve been living under a rock for 2 years, the normal person has been bombarded with messages from their local news stations and the little old people in commercials who tell you about the “government’s coo-pon progrrm” (read: government’s coupon program for those who don’t speak geriatric). Let me spell this out for the Senate…(excuse the caps)
IF PEOPLE DON’T GET IT WITH 2 YEARS PREP TIME, 4 MONTHS ISN’T GOING TO MAKE A FRIGGIN’ BIT OF DIFFERENCE!!!
I couldn’t get away with not hearing about the discount government program and yes we got ours and have had our basement tv hooked up for almost a year. We even gave the other card we got to my mom and told her to check around for anyone without cable and give it to them. Of course now what’s happened? The coupon program has run out of money to help supplement the cost the last I heard. Sorry procrastinators! I mean why do we always end up doing this for people who have had ample time to do this or that and then those people complain and everyone else who had their end cinched up on time has to suffer? I thought I was finally done seeing “XX days until we have to switch to digital” on my local news like it was the end of days or something! Sigh.
Old people…please…get the HD converter box (Zenith is the one rated the best by consumer magazines) and go back to your nap.
