What about those of use that live in a small valley? No money, only have one choice of “cable” we can not afford it !!! We can’t even afford the converter box, can’t get the coupon, still waiting… unfair for the poor. This valley lives on very tight budgets. We can not even afford food much less having to be forced into the only cable available to have tv. $50.00 a month for cable is alot of money to those of us who do NOT have that extra a month, what should we do???? Why can’t we have a chioce to keep our antennas ?? I only get 2 channels as is, I am NOT a couch potato by any means, but is the only way to the “ouside world”, unless going into a place to get internet access & on line. Not having a car makes this almost impossible. I was really hoping Presedent Obama would’ve come through with holding it out till all is ready… would’ve been nice for the “little people”.
