Technology Liberation Front: Act Now for Free TV–And Subsidized DTV Boxes

    The server appears to be busy at times, but with persistance the page loaded. I'm in for two. No cable here. All analog TVs.

    I think your sarcasm is unwarranted. There are plenty of folks whose lives don't revolve around television, who have perfectly good analog sets, and who shouldn't be forced to upgrade simply because the government wants to sell spectrum. This is one of the few government programs I approve of. Thankfully the government is not actually manufacturing the converter boxes. Then we really would be in trouble.

    On behalf of the NAB, I can tell you with certainty that we are not lobbying for an extension of the analog cut-off date. Broadcasters are eager and ready to proceed with the transition. Powering two streams can be very expensive, especially for small market television stations.

    The National Council of Power Strip Manufacturers is probably behind this one, to encourage people to have to plug in a box plus a TV instead of replacing the TV.

    HI,

    I have a website that offers over 50 different Converter Box reviews. It is http://dtvconverterboxes.blogspot.com. I was wondering if you would be interested in linking to it here from your DTV Post? If not and you delete this post thats fine do, just thought I would ask and couldn't find an email contact on here for you.

    Thanks!
