well, does this law effect you?
we have to buy 2 digital converter boxes :-\
I'm doing a research paper on it, and I can assure you that most people don't need the converters. If you're using rabbit ears or whatever, you do.
that doesnt concern me, so.......
I dont need one...
The government REALLY just wants you to buy new TVs, but meh.
i dont know why they MUST.
I have an SDTV, so it shouldn't affect me.
i really don't care about it...
it does not affect me

Because most countries are doing it and the USA doesn't want to be left behind.
In fact, Australia is banning traditional light bulbs by 2009.

You don't need a new TV. An overwhelming majority of people aren't even affected by this.

I'm too cheap to own a good TV and then buy the converters.
It greatly affects me.
omg all mah tvs r antennae wut i do nowwwww
I don't even know anyone who this'll really affect. There are a couple of people I know with antennae TVs, but they mostly use them very little. except my band teacher, who never uses it anyways.
The only people that need to upgrade or get the converter box are those who still watch television via an antennae. And if you're still running on that, gtfo of the past and spend the ten bucks or however much it is to convert.
Yeah seriously who does this affect?
