Analog TV is now history. FCC switched off analog broadcast after midnight on June 13th. The dipole antenna sits on top of my TV has been rendered useless.
Yes,you're right. I don't have cable subscription. Ever since I started my MBA program, I barely have had time to watch TV. Once in a while, I watch an episode of CSI Miami or The Mentalist. When it is close to midterms or finals, I stay up studying until 3 or 4am in the morning.
The Fed postponed the switch in February, extending analog broadcast for 4 months. I recieved one of those $40 vouchers to purchase a digital box, but I let it expire. I requested a replacement voucher, but so far the Fed hasn't send me one yet. I don't think they ever will because the money is better used for rescuing GM.
We will have cable subscription in our new home in Florida. It comes with the lease. I don't think I will watch much TV though. The time is better spent strolling down Ocean Drive and laying out on South Beach.
