I had kind of hoped that this deadline would push back. I would rather buy new HD sets than put converters on our older TV's, but we just can't afford it. Rob, those of us who don't have HD TV's don't need to be penalized due to a lack of disposable income. My family is actually trying to get out of debt at this time. We just don't have money to either buy a new set, get cable/satellite, or both. I am not for the government subsidising someone's lifetyle, but at the same time I don't advocate penalizing someone just because they don't have the money to buy something or pay for a subscription service. As a matter of fact, this could be seen as an informal means of subsidizing cable/satellite networks and TV/converter box manufacturers. It's kind of like what Windows Vista is doing to the software world.
