For those of you living in your shack in the hills 75 miles from the nearest big-box store with no car, your analog TV is safe for a little bit longer. The February 17th deadline for the DTV transition has been moved to June 12th is still exactly as it was. That’s would have been nearly four more months of Beverly Hillbillies and The Andy Griffith Show reruns. Make sure your shotgun is loaded and ready at your side on June 12th February 17th when Uncle Sam comes to take away your analog TV. Hold on… What do you mean they can just do it remotely?!

Correction: This never actually took place! The bill was put forth before the house but was never signed. What did you take this blog for? A credible news source?!

Update February 12th: This bill was ultimately passed.
