Senate Passes Digital Delay Again

This is all just one more reason for people to remember.......Congress tends to affect your life more than who is president. Yet how many Americans could even name their Senators or Representatives? We get what we deserve.

I thought that the February date was the cut off and that stations could transition before that if they wanted. If I was a broadcaster then I would just switch anyway.

This is a perfect example how government can't even complete the simplest objectives. Instead of realizing this common fact the United States will allow the addition of 4 trillion dollars to the National Debt for no reason (other than to take more control).
 
WTF? The consumers are already confused enough over this crap, and if they keep changing shit, it's going to make it even worse.

I'm ready for the transition with DirecTV. The kids will need a box, but not at these inflated prices. DAMN
 
Why is it the governments responsibility to make sure everyone can watch television? That doesn't fall under FCC at all! If anything it should be the broadcasting companies like ABC, MSNBC etc that should pay for the rebates, I mean they are the ones who are trying to get more viewers!
 
Once again, the MINORITY has won, and the tax-paying MAJORITY will suffer for it. I've spent hours perusing forums, news sites, etc. all day, liberal sites, conservative, democratic, etc. The OVERWHELMING majority of comments are AGAINST delaying the transition.

"Hello Americans. Time for a change. You don't run your own country anymore, but you still have to pay the same taxes, and you should still vote."

Who the heck have we all voted in? Is your state's rep really voting the way you want him/her to vote? Doesn't look like the majority has been represented at all in this fiasco. What a sack of bullcrap.
 
It's partially our fault. We voted for every member of the house and senate.

I still would feel betrayed if they didn't vote the way most of the people in my state wanted them to vote. We can complain all we want on these forums, but we are literally taking it right up the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unless we do something more. How long is the tax paying majority going to let the loud-mouthed minority walk all over it? I'm as guilty of non-action as the next guy. We are satisfied to bury our heads in the sand and let the country go to hell in a handbasket. Sad.
 
This is so god damn stupid prolonging this longer. They know people will not be ready for the changeover so lets delay the problem even longer :mad:

Re-f'ing-diculous. Here we are catering to the Jim Bob's trailer park crowd (no offense to those who live in trailer parks) so they can decide whether or not to be prepared for the digital transition.

Try a more urban area, most people in trailer parks have cable.
 
I am so sick of the commercials for this. Really, if you don't know about it by now you are SOL.

Whatever.

Exactly.

People that aren't ready right now aren't going to be ready months from now. I guess it's just another way Congress wants to freaking milk the American taxpayer for as much ridiculous money as they can.
