Seriously! And what's the worst that can happen? Some people won't be able to watch TV for a while? Maybe they'll miss American Idol! Who cares?! It would probably be the best thing to happen to them. Television sucks anyway.

The government isn't actually concerned about these people. I'm sure it's more along the lines that the media companies are worried about missing advertising dollars from slightly lower ratings.

Comment Re:OT : Why cancel analog? (Score 1) 339

Can anyone educate me on why a mandated cutting analog is a requirement of DTV?

The spectrum that analog TV uses was sold off so that companies like Verizon could use it for a new wireless network service. Can't really do that while analog TV broadcasts are still using the spectrum.

That doesn't really answer his question at all, does it?
