House votes Wednesday to delay DTV transition

The political maneuvering to delay the analog-to-digital broadcast transition is a lesson in the minutiae of the legislative process. A new vote is scheduled for Wednesday that is likely to pass with a simple majority, instead of the two-thirds required to pass the previous bill. The new deadline will move the transition from February 17th to June 12th.

Update: Congress approved the delay to June 12th

  1. About time.

    Nobody really needs four channels of cable in one TV when several DECENT single one would do.

    Still same bat time, same bat channel. Gloria In Excelsis Deo and all that.
