They use lobbyist to make it an issue in congress. It's the way things work now days in our govt.

You people are so fucking retarded it's crazy. The digital transition has NOTHING to do with cable you fucking idiots. It has to do with OVER THE AIR signals. Also known as OTA. If you get your Tv from satellite or cable NOTHING changes for you. Only if you get TV from rabbit ears or an antenna on your house does this affect you. And only if you have a TV that doesn't have a built in digital tuner.
Some of the spectrum freed up by swicthing to digital is going to be used for first responders. Um kind of a good thing you know. In case there another national emergency like 9/11
