Well it also looks like many people did not listen to the commercials becuase they all waited until the end to try to find their converters hence the delay.

Plus there were flaws in the federal coupon program, no surprise there.

If they went ahead with switchover on the date, millions of low income, rural and elderly would be left with blank screens with would further hurt the economy because TV stations would lose ratings and revenue. Not to mention those left with out TV would have to spend their own money to navigate the transition and it would cost consumers even more money out of their pockets while the gov't made 19 billion on the sale of the air space.

BUt I hear you....the commercials are annoying.
