I can't believe Obama is hamstringing the move to digital because a latenik minority didn't  get off their ass to purchase a digital TV or at least a converter by now. The forty dollar giveaway was like the foodstamps for electronics. A terribly costly program that was unnecessary. I'll wager the manufacturers of antennas were responsible for lobbying it or those in the sticks still watdh Oprah in snow. If you want an immediate stimulus why not give away HD TVs to the great unwashed or buy up all at Circuit City.
