Yep.
If people can’t watch their soaps, cartoons and sports a LOT of politicians are going to experience more heat than they got over amnesty.

Of course, the settop converter required probably will cost less than $20 (made in China).
Big Whoop.

I don’t use TV anymore. I just use torrentz.com, burn it, and play it on a Divx player.

Don’t worry. The democrats will set up some kind of means testing to determine who qualifies for a free government issued TV.
