25. Because if a switch is inevitable and 95% of the country is ready,
it will cost us a lot less than it will to keep up this horseshit for four more months. I don't like the fact that the government passed an entitlement program for digital TV anyway, and we have much bigger fish to fry than this. Four more months will cost us millions, pester the shit out of many of us who have been ready for well over a year, and should be very low on our list of priorities.

As you snidely pointed out earlier, a lot of us are having tough times now. Let's see the government focus more on that and less on horseshit like this. If 95% of the country is ready after a full year's warning, delaying it is just stupid. As far as I'm concerned, screw the 5% who aren't ready. They've had enough time.

I get four years' advance notice to renew my driver's license. If I'm not ready to do so, should I be given four more months?
