Re: It's just wierd

<And these same fellows are conspiring, even as we
speak, to turn off the broadcast TV signals in 2009,
making all of our TVs (but moreso TVs owned by poor
Democrats) inoperative just *before* they plan to
shut down the shuttle program. A sinister plan
indeed, because, since there will be no TV, we
Americans will have no idea what these sinister
fellows would really be doing with the shuttle and
with their Moon/Mars program! ;)

First if you get your TV from cable or satellite, as nearly 88% do it
will NOT effect your sets on these at all.

For those using a antenna only, will see their tv shut off, but
converter boxes will be available for under 75 bucks for each tv.

this is all about the government auctioning off the tv bandwidth for
profit.

call your legislators and complain! its a rip off. lots of folks have
tvs not on cable or sat as second tvs, these will go dark, and even
today many tvs that cant get the new system are being sold as brand
new....

poorly planned, poorly implemented. rip off of the consumer
