Senate Postpones TV Analog to Digital Switch to June 12

Posted by Mavrik | Filed under ZOMG

The senate postponed the analog switch four more months today.  The new date for the analog TV shutdown: June 12, pending Congress approval of the move.

Previously, the analog shutdown was going to happen in February 17, but with Nielsen estimating 6.5 million U.S. homes still with analog TV only.  So I guess those of you out there who haven’t switched or gotten a converter box have some more time.
