In the “Officially getting old” department: Senate passes another DTV delay bill to the House

The US Senate has approved yet another bill that would delay the DTV transition until June 12th today, and passed it to the House of Representatives, where it needs a 2/3 vote to pass once again.

The bill contains some “minor edits” according to many observers, including a clause that may allow some local stations to switch over early if they wish. That might not be so bad, we suppose. Still, this whole thing has been dragged to death, it’s confusing everyone, and it needs to either pass or be shot down already, in our humble opinion.

The House is in recess until next week, but its appearing that this bill may pass, and we’ll have to wait until June for the full “official” switchover to DTV. A sad day for those HDTV fans (and TV fans in general) waiting for this to finally become reality.
