Hard to believe: DTV switchover may be delayed until June

Yes, it may be ridiculous, but the digital TV switchover date may be delayed until June, as a recent report indicated that over 6 million homes still aren’t DTV ready, and the voucher system is logjammed pretty badly. The February date has been blasted all over the country for months now, and all this will do is create confusion, in our opinion, but hey…what can you do?

Rumors have surfaced that the new DTV transition date may end up being June 12th, instead of the heavily advertised February 17th date.  Unless Congress overturns the ruling, the old date still applies, but it appears that Congress may do just that, which saddens us as HDTV fans ourselves.

It’s amazing to think in these days of digital technology, high-definition TV’s, music players that fit in the palm of your hand and internet streaming video that over 6.5 million people still use rabbit ears.  Hopefully, things will get sorted out and the date will not change. We’ll keep you informed of any official announcements, of course.
