I Want My DTV

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

More people are waiting in the 7th Congressional District to get their free digital TV coupons than any other place in the continental United States.

That number comes from PC Magazine, which reports more than 1.8 million households were not ready to make the switch.

Luckily for them the U.S. House has voted to push back the date from the switch to digital TV from February 17 to June 12.

Broadcasters are not happy as they’ve spent a lot of time and resources to meet the February deadline.

And for the record there are 8,511 households in Indianapolis that did not have a coupon.   The largest is Puerto Rico with more than 48,000.  Los Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia also topped the list of households that did not have coupons to make the switch to digital television.
