Save Analog TV

The Commerce department has told the Hoise that the need more money to pay for the government coupons that are being sent out so people can get converted boxes when analog (regular) tv signs off next year.

Why are we having traditional TV sign off anyway? Not everyone can afford cable television, and these converted boxes are sure to be frustrating to connect.

What about those with portable televisions? I have a Sony Watchman that I am fond of....should I take a gas powered generator with me to power the converter box so I can watch football when I tailgate or go camping?

I'm sure somebody is getting rich of this con-job, but it's sure not the average American.
