So, are they delaying digital or what?

Here is a picture of my newest antenna; which is only to keep reminding you about the digital switch over that is coming!  There has been a lot off talk about delaying the switch to DTV.  Obama said delay it and the Senate agreed, but then the House said no.  So, it looks like as of right now, right t his moment, February 17th is the day you need to be ready for digital.  Which means that you will want to build an antenna. 

I keep stressing the conversion to digital now because it is important to get ready before the analog signals are gone.  Both because you can use the analog signals to help find reliable digital signals, and because nobody likes to not have the option of watching TV... even though Hulu.com is so much cooler.  I also keep stressing to get ready now because we were told about this 10 years ago, and it is time to stop dragging you feet.  Everyone has waited until the last minute to request the coupon for the digital boxes, and now there is a waiting list to get a coupon.  You have until March to request a coupon, but you will have to wait to get one.

In the mean time, I've been hearing about more and more people who are silly enough to go out and buy there $40 and $50 DTV antennas when you can build a much better and more reliable antenna for under $10!  I even build an antenna out of junk I found laying around the house that worked better than the one I purchased.

It is the time to be thrifty, and this is one of those situations where you actually benefit from not wasting your money by getting a better product.  So, everyone keep in mind it is time to upgrade.  Even if the revote that may take place this week happens, don't keep procrastinating.  You can begin receiving the benefits now from DTV, so why keep wasting you time with analog?

Embrace the ditigal change!
