[quote=Blackduck;617901]I think some of you are missing the point. The public is being mislead by the current add campaign being run by our government. Many people are not going to be able to watch TV the way the used to with their new $60 converter box. Some, no matter how much money the spend on antennas, will have spotty reception. With analog, they were still able to view and hear with tolerable results, Television as they have known it their entire lives. Those converter boxes are going to be just about useless to millions of people. /QUOTE]
That's the part that bothers me the most. I can handle going from a dozen watchable analog channels to 3 or 4 watchable digital ones, but hearing the crap that the Feds are forcing the broadcasters to say is infuriating. A lot of people will spend a lot of money and still end up being forced to subscribe to some form of paid viewing. I suspect the feds have done a statistical analysis that lets them know that the losers can safely be ignored.
