Just a little background on why I chose this clip...Commercials similar to this have been running on major broadcasting stations for a months now. They remind viewers that the DTV transition date is approaching and offer advice on how how they can prepare for the switch. It goes along with one side of my current event and how Congress is pushing for the February 17th date to be enforced.

This clip was posted just over one year ago (November 2007). This clip described the science behind changing to digital tv. They argue that "digital is good."

I found this article to be very informative. The switch to digital signals is much more complicated than I had expected. The government was ill prepared to help average Americans with a sutiable number of coupons for the converter box. The thing that suprises me most is that Americans still have such antiquated technology like rabbit ears. I think it is time for a change.
