We're at a time of "financial crisis" yet are going to pour money into television watching. Who can't get $40? If television is THAT important, surely its worth one tank of gas. We're already behind countries like Japan on the technological side, any delay to something as trivial as tv just is so.. awkward.

Barry has an "advisor" who's on temporary leave from Sprint helping to put off the digital conversion as long as possible in order to maintain/grow Sprint's 4G lead over Verizon. Everything changed 11/4/08. There is NO LONGER any journalistic oversight of the government. The media was and is in the tank for the Messiah. So bend over America.

It's just like us (as Americans) to procrastinate until the last second to do anything about it. I hope those people DON'T get the coupon, and MAYBE some of them will learn... Ok, probably not. We don't learn, we complain... They’ve been advertising for this for 2 years. It’s just like us (as Americans) to procrastinate until the last second to do anything about it.
