It's no problem here, but my portable handheld TV will never work.... It was always helpful during school to watch March Madness.

My aunt and uncle are the same way. My uncle says it's a government conspiracy concocted by the left wing. It's all about the money.

I use rabbit ears to pick up HD local. Initially Dishnetwork local channels in Orlando weren't HD. I still use the rabbit years to get an extra recordable channel on my DVR. Instead of two at one time I can record three shows at one time.

The government may delay the change until June because they've run out of money/coupons for the converter boxes. Apparently the program started offering the discounts before the funding was even approved in November or December. Hard to believe the government would screw something up.

Not surprising at all.

Congress is pushing the date back to June so you can have your birthday all to yourself.

Same here. I was amazed that a crappy little antenna could bring in so much HD goodness. The OTA picture was better than the cable I had then and the DirecTV I have now.
