Digital TV Transition Update

By Bernita on January 14, 2009 2:08 AM | Comments (0)

Last week was a crazy week in the digital tv transition world
The Obama Transition team said "delay the date"
The FCC said "no way, don't delay"
The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights sent this to Congress

On behalf of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (LCCR), the nation’s oldest, largest, and most diverse civil and human rights coalition, with nearly 200 member organizations, we are writing to support President-elect Obama’s proposal and to urge your support for extending the upcoming digital television transition (DTV) until there is a plan in place to minimize the number of viewers who will lose TV signals. Most importantly, this plan needs to fix the flaws in the federal coupon program created to offset the cost of this transition to consumers. LCCR believes it is critical that America leaves none of its communities and viewers behind as it transitions to digital television.

What You Can Do Now!
* Get on the Coupon Waiting List - www.dtv2009.gov - This will ensure that as soon as a coupon is available - you're in line to get it.

* Volunteer at a DTV Assistance Center - www.atlantadtv2009.com

* Help out on MLK Day "Digital" Service Day

* Participate in the "Friends and Family" Coupon Swap. If you don't need your coupon then donate it.
