I am surprised to read some of the comments like the one below coming
from blind people.  I wonder how many of the people making these
comments actually watch TV.  We still do not have a radio that can
receive DTV, and the vast majority of our analog TV radios cannot use a
converter box.

At this point, it won't.  Besides, why should vouchers be made out for
two sets per household?  And everyone's had enough time.  Enough is
enough.--Matthew Chao
