The official DTV Delay Discussion thread

[staticMHZ]

All this nonsense of “I didn’t receive mycoupons”, “they didn’t have boxes”, etc. is a bunch of hogwash from people who, even if the program were delayed for a year, would still not apply for the coupons and get a box until their screens went blank. I stubbed my toe last nite, and don’t have a bandage. You think the government could send a man out to take a look at it?

I know that sounds harsh, but if you think about it it's true in a way. 4 more months, will not do much, really.

It's human nature to procrastinate, and just like life, some people like changes, some don't.

And from another view, it's just television. It's not like the world is gonna end without it. The economy is in a ************ pot. They should be focusing on other things rather then wasting money on tv.

Get it over with, the only way to shove it down the lazy people's throats is to pull the plug and let them wake up with a static screen.

"well, i guess they were right marge, i'm gonna run out and pick up one of those boxes".

I also read that if this dely really DOES go down, that PBS will have to shell out $20 million. Not sure what it's for though.

This will hurt alot of stations.
