so this isn't on my aforementioned list of things to blog about, but this keeps popping up in the news, and i'm finding it to be getting a little ridiculous.
From what I understand, one of the major problems with the transition is that while people can buy the converter box for a reasonable price (if their coupons arrive in the mail -- lots of complaints about people not receiving them despite ordering), some people also need to purchase (and install) new antennas. Other people are discouraged because they buy the converter box, but after hooking it up, they have fewer channels because local channels aren't broadcasting the digital signal at full capacity.
Not that waiting more time will make this any easier.
The people who will suffer the most will be people who are socially isolated, like older folks who can't leave their homes easily and have few friends/family around.
