I think it should be delayed for up to a year. Many people are not ready, there are not enough coupons for converters and the economy is on the toilet so the last thing people need to be doing is buying DTV sets made in China. What do you think?
The transition team for President-elect Barack Obama wants Congress to push back a planned changeover to digital television. The delay, Obama's team argues, would give consumers more time to get ready for the switch, now scheduled for Feb. 17.
I also think the whole thing is silly. How can ANYBODY, who has a TV and has had it turned on during this past year, NOT know about this? It isn't as though they sprang it on us all of the sudden.
Mostly though, I think there are a lot more important issues for Obama to be addressing.
I'm not sure this matters so much, Obama can do whatever he wants. However, it was stupid to mandate a switch anyway.
