Analog TV Broadcasts Shutoff Postponed

Over-the-air DTV is another victim of the weak economy. The US senate has passed the bill delaying the switchover to June 12, 2009. It is not really a switchover anymore, it is a gradual transition process. Some networks will shut-off their analog signals on Feb 17, others will do that in the forthcoming months. The final deadline is June 12.

There is a good reason for the delay. With the economy in a downturn, it doesn’t seem right to force millions of households to upgrade their TV sets, converters, etc.

Anyway, the date of our HDTV antenna giveaway has not changed. If you are ready to go digital without delay, we are ready to help you. Two days left to subscribe.
