Now, I currently am living in Korea to teach English. I must say you guys in the U.S.A. are lucky to have free TV. In any other country, from what I'm told, there's no such thing as Free TV. You have to pay for cable to get anything. It is much cheaper, but nonetheless, the fact that I have to pay to get anything is not as good as getting it for free - all I care about are just regular TV shows.]]>Jun 11th 2009 9:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/poll-are-you-ready-for-the-digital-tv-transition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/poll-are-you-ready-for-the-digital-tv-transition/Jun 11th 2009 10:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/poll-are-you-ready-for-the-digital-tv-transition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/poll-are-you-ready-for-the-digital-tv-transition/

Books? Really? In the future?

On a related note, I'm glad the switch is finally going to happen. It should've happened back in Feb but meh, what can ya do?]]>Jun 12th 2009 9:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/poll-are-you-ready-for-the-digital-tv-transition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/poll-are-you-ready-for-the-digital-tv-transition/Jun 11th 2009 9:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/poll-are-you-ready-for-the-digital-tv-transition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/poll-are-you-ready-for-the-digital-tv-transition/

I believe you are forgetting a little cable powerhouse known as ESPN.

I know the common price seems to be about $50, so that the company selling them gets $10 off the sale. TigerDirect had them the other day for $40.01 ($0.01 after coupon) plus the standard tax/shipping.

It's not that expensive. If you can't afford the $10 it costs after your coupon, then you don't need to be worrying about TV. ]]>Jun 12th 2009 12:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/poll-are-you-ready-for-the-digital-tv-transition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/poll-are-you-ready-for-the-digital-tv-transition/
The whole digital transition has to happen, but there are going to be millions of people that go dark. And, it is through no fault of their own. ]]>Jun 12th 2009 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/poll-are-you-ready-for-the-digital-tv-transition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/poll-are-you-ready-for-the-digital-tv-transition/Jun 12th 2009 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/poll-are-you-ready-for-the-digital-tv-transition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/poll-are-you-ready-for-the-digital-tv-transition/Jun 11th 2009 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/poll-are-you-ready-for-the-digital-tv-transition/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/poll-are-you-ready-for-the-digital-tv-transition/
For what it's worth, I just want the damn DTV ads to end.
