DTV Delayed: It's Official June 12th, 2009 is the new date
The House voted to delay the U.S.'s digital transition to June 12th, 2009. President Barack Obama has said he will sign the bill as soon as it lands on his desk.
What you need to know about the DTV Delay:
- All TV broadcasters now must stop broadcasting analog signals after 6-12-2009(Known as the digital transition)
- Broadcasters can choose to shut off their analog signals any time before 6-12-09. If your broadcaster decides to broadcast digital only signals and your analog TV does not have a converter box, you will not receive that specific station's channel.
- Even though the DTV delay bill has been approved, expired coupon holders still cannot reapply to the dtv coupon program. There may be ammendments added to allow expired coupon holders to apply again, and as these details become available, we'll update this post.
- Update: Expired Coupon Households are now allowed to reapply to the DTV Coupon program, more details are posted here: http://www.dtvusaforum.com/governmen...ply-today.html
