Digital Television Switch moved to June 12.

In a not so surprising move, Congress passed a bill moving the mandatory switch from analog to digital television by 4 months. The bill now has to go to the President for his approval, which is expected. If passed, the switchover which was supposed to occur February 17 will be moved to June 12. 

The delay will give consumers more time to get ready for the switch. If you receive your television via cable or satellite, you are probably already prepared. But if you receive television from set-top rabbit ears or a roof antenna you will need a converter box.
