Thank goodness we had coupons, because even with them, the converter boxes were expensive. Although the companies that made them might have raised the price, figuring, "Hey, if people got coupons from the government, they can afford to pay a little more themselves!"

I'll have to see what digital channels I can get.

PBS stations will face additional power costs, and in some cases make new arrangements, for sending over-the-air TV signals after mid-February, she said. The switchover date was meant to end the analog, or over-the-air, television signals. I think another station said that they had work crews scheduled for the day after the changeover.

It also seems like the converter boxes are at least somewhat more expensive than the coupons would have been anyway, so people would still have to pay for the change over.

If I'm reading that correctly, and if the article is up to date, then I believe the delay is not certain, but still needs to pass the House.

Like I said, obviously, resolution would be lost in the conversion. One thing I'm not sure about is aspect ratio. I think HD TV is supposed to be widescreen, so I imagine you either get to crop your picture, or have it squashed.

WASHINGTON -- Millions of $40 government coupons become available Tuesday to help low-tech television owners buy special converter boxes for older TVs that might not work after the switch to digital broadcasting.

Beginning Feb. 18, 2009, anyone who does not own a digital set and still gets their programming via over-the-air antennas will no longer receive a picture.
