US Digital TV Switchover Delayed Until June: Via Slashdot

necro81 writes "The Delay DTV Act was passed first by the Senate, now in the House, and will be signed by the President. The hard cutoff for turning off analog TV broadcasts in the U.S. has been pushed out to June 12th. The act had earlier failed to gain a 2/3rds majority in the House, but passed this afternoon with a simple majority. The bill allows stations to cease analog transmissions at any point between Feb 17th (the old cutoff) and June 12th, and many have signaled they will do so."
