[Electronics-talk] Digital TV Transition

[Craig Borne]

You are correct.  A bill would have to pass both the House and Senate, in
its same form, in order to be presented to the President for signature.
This did not, and effectively, the bill has been killed by the House.

My understanding of the digetal tv conversion is that it is still scheduled
for February 19.  Though a bill did pass the senate to delay the conversion
to June 12, that same bill was defeated in the house.  So far as I know,
that action would render this bill to be a moot point.

I'm confused, because I did hear the delay is not going to happen.
