digital conversion for our televisions? more like piracy of the airwaves.?
So why does the government think that we need to upgrade to digital signal? well the #1 reason is it will make them wads of cash! They plan to auction the "old" television channels to private company's like cellular phone companies and make boo koo bucks. And to top it all off after spending upwards of $500 dollars on a television you will have to buy an analog to digital converter! So the government gets to tax you on that as well! this is complete tyranny! apparently our forefathers were allowed to rebel about this kind of manipulation but we are'nt? so Which electronics company do you think will get the winning bid to sell these stupid converters? A FAT CHANCE IN HELL IT WILL BE AN AMERICAN COMPANY! check out the website (https://www.dtv2009.org/ ) pretty slick what we're being boned into doing. it's like "hey no more land line telephones everyone gets cell phones regardless of whether you have service where you live ! we don't care about you your just money makers for the good ol US

- you got that right!!!!!!!!
- Can't afford a NEW TV SET eh? Well stop spending your hard earned money on BEER and you might have some extra money to pay for HD TV..... They've given us TEN YEARS to get an HD TV set...and they're even doling out my hard earned money so YOU can get a Digital reciever for your old TV set....
- A lot of good things can be done with that spectrum. Much better cellular service coverage for one, which will include rural areas. Lots of money will be made, and lots of jobs will be created. And yes, the government will get a huge amount of money, some of which will be spent to buy you digital-to-analog converters. Look here: http://www.dtvtransition.org/
