Humboldt HDTV Digital Television Information

The United States Senate voted unanimously today to extend the deadline for U.S. TV stations to covert their broadcast signals from analog to digital (DTV) until June 12, 2009.

The bill still needs to be approved by the U.S. Congress before it is signed into law by President Obama. Both the President and Congress have indicated their willingness to see the law passed. The original deadline for the transition to digital television was February 17th.

Few things are more frustrating than being bombarded with comercials urging you to rush out and buy a product, only to find out later that no stores have the item in stock. No, I’m not talking about the new Apple Iphone. I’m talking about the new DTV converters individuals will need in order to continue watching over-the-air television after February 2009.
