rabbit_ears1Folks, the DTV extension bill passed the House of Representatives. The switch to digital has been officially delayed for four months until June 12, 2009. According to a Reuturs report, there are 20 million people would have lost their TV signals if the almighty American government hadn’t stopped the switch.
