Pumps' Perplexities

On February 19, 2009 we Americans will have
a new television system......If you are currently
using a Cable or Satellite system to receive
your television "signal" you will have no
problem......But if you are using a roof top
or "rabbit ears" type of antenna, you will
need a new converter box......

Australia will slowly convert their television
system between 2010 and 2013......We, in
American, will do it in one day......

Here are the comments of a Senator in
Australia, " The concern I have is that I've
tested this myself to find out how easy it
is to install a set-top (converter) box if you
are not very technically literate. I've got
to tell you it's not that easy. Some people
can do it dead easy but for others it's quite
a 'challenge'. In the United States they give
out two vouchers (for converters) and said
you're on your own after that. This has led
to a debacle. It is a train wreck waiting to
happen in the US in February when they
switch off the analog signal nationally on
one day."

I think the Australian Senator has said
it all......Pumps
