Feds delay analog TV shutdown after all

After the U.S. Senate approved a delay in the analog TV shutdown to June 12, and the House of Representatives narrowly rejected it, the House has now revisited its decision and this time has passed the measure.  Link:  NPR.  Can't locate the story now, but think it was in Financial Times, that reported fewer than half of the coupons that the government has distributed have actually been used.  --Dennis

Here is the biggest problem. The US government got so involved with the manufacturing specifications of the converter boses, that there is not enough profit in the sales of the boxes to make and retailer sell them. The economics don't ad up. This points further to the problem that the suppliers are not exactly buying truckloads and wharehousing them, especially after the first extension. The whole thingis a disaster.
