The Price We Pay to Watch Television

Posted By admin on June 23, 2009

Thank you for revisiting you can still subscribe to my RSS feed. As Always Thank You for visiting!

Wow, we are on the edge of another technology upgrade.  One may be wondering if it is necessary to convert alll television viewing from analog to digital?  I am not sure we have a choose in the matter.  A of June 2009, all television stations will stop transmitting analog signals.  The stations have spend millions and probably received another millions in write offs and/or other incentives form the government to convert over to digital.

I am not sure I welcome this conversion with open arms because I have to buy new equipment to watch television.  The government once again thought that most of us would not appreciate this unneccessary expense, so the government set aside 33.5million coupons with a retail value of $40.00 for this conversion.

It seems to me that this once again a misappropriation of money because 33.5 million times $40.00 is 1.34 billion dollars.  That’s right 1.34 billion dollars, with a “b”, and who knows how much money was spend on the conversion for ever broadcast station in America.  If you know the figure, please comment.

It is all unnecessary, but what can you do when it is already done, but pony up unnecessary money to watch of all things television.
