I know there are some who believe Bush is the cause of all problems,
past, present, and future, but this isn't one of them. DTV transition
started long before his presidency. Check this NYT article from 1997
http://www.nytimes.com/1997/03/10/business/advanced-tv-posing-issue-of-timing.html
First paragraph:
"If the Clinton Administration has its way, every American home will
have to replace its television sets with expensive new digital models
within eight years -- or risk losing the ability to watch TV at all."
(OK, I'll admit the Bush admin didn't do a great job with the coupon
process.)

Don't fail to look after the Bush plan for converting to digital fire
scheduled for next January. Some have said that doing so in the middle
of Winter was a dumb idea, but Bush said "mission accomplished." I
don't think it is on BHO's radar yet, with so many other crises to
attend to. Try to order your fire converters early.

It *was* broke, now it's fixed. For a while, anyway. You wouldn't
really consider driving a 1940 model car today, would you? Your 'fire'
analogy is a really bad one because DTV is a set of standards, not a
universal chemical process.
