The budget is $1.5B which sounds like alot, but if you do the math you see that there is only enough money to do this for about 10% of americans, while over 70% still have NTSC only TVs. So if you need one, or know someone who does, please don't dawdle.
Why is there a budget for this at all? Television is not a necessity. It angers me that my tax dollars are being used to buy home theater components for the masses. A coupon wasn't available a few years ago when I purchased my HD tuner.
