According to The Washington Post the senate is trying to pass a bill that will delay this until June 12th. Are you kidding me? How complicated is this process. Are there people out their that are really that dumb? I guess there are senior citizens that don’t understand the situation and what they must or if it will even effect them. My grandparents were that way. I had to get the digital converter boxes and hook them up for them. It is a good thing though. I was blown away by the signal from the converter box. I actually think it looks better than my cable television that I have currently.

I can see the concern with leaving the elderly without a contact to the world by turning off their television, but at the same time the people that haven’t done something to take care of the problem by this point aren’t going to do it until they are forced to do so. I say cut it off and when that happens then people will do the necessary upgrades. yeah they may be with out television for a couple of days maybe even a week but in all trueth it would probably be the best thing for them.  What are your thoughts on the situation?
