Another one (hundred and fifty-eight) bites the dust, as they say. With the newly established June 12th cutover date
looming, another 158 TV stations across America have decided that enough is enough. In a new list that was sent over the FCC this week, we're told that another swath of stations intend to shut off their analog signals prior to the mandatory June 12th cutover date. For what it's worth, the majority of the 158 are in smaller markets and don't broadcast any of the four major commercial networks, but we wouldn't be shocked to hear of more of this as more and more stations grow tired of waiting around.

I am struggling to pay for my electric. Cable is just not something that I can afford. So, my 3 children and I are forced to watch the 4 stations that we can get with rabbit ears. When Feb.17 came around, I went (like many others at the walmart) out to buy a digital box. I was SO excited! The government had me believe it's better, and we'll get more channels. NOT TRUE!
Now I get 3 channels and they are constantly showing "no signal"! or will black out when the best part of a show is on. We live by a railroad track, and each time one passes, it's blacked out. When my children walk acrossed their room, it blacks out. It is a terrible thing! I am very upset that I am forced into this and have no choice! What is so good about digital tv? what am I missing?
