Okay, so we've got converter boxes, and we've paid for a big fancy flying-saucer-shaped amplified antenna. Still, I am not happy with digital television. Why?
Sure, we get a clearer picture MOST of the time. Digital TV is a classic example of "when it is good, it is very very good, and when it is bad, it is horrid." Give us a little precipitation, and the picture pixelates, shakes, stutters, and the sound cuts out or wobbles.
At least, with analog TV, we didn't miss key pieces of dialog in almost every movie or show.
And we have to convert to digital TV because the government believes it's better than analog?
Really?
How about ... if people haven't yet bought into the cable TV trap, the cable companies are hoping that, in the absence of analog TV as an alternative to the irritation of free digital, the public will finally bite the bullet and get hooked in with cable.
I don't think it's "for the people," at all.

I can't argue with this! I keep asking the same questions. I fell like I'm 5 years old: Mommy, why do we have to have digital TV? Because dear.
Yes, but WHY?
Because Uncle Sam said so. Now shush up and eat your gruel.
