NEW YORK (AP) — Television stations across the U.S. started cutting their analog signals Friday morning, marking the final signoff for a 60-year-old technology and likely stranding more than 1 million unprepared homes without TV service.

The National Association of Broadcasters says a survey indicates that many people are ready for the switch to digital.  Still, the NAB says it would support a delay, because of concerns that a coupon program for converter boxes has a backlog of millions of names

It looks like the switchover from analog to digital TV won’t happen next month, as originally planned. The Senate is close to an agreement on a bill that would delay the rollout of digital TV to June 12th, instead of February 17th.

Could the federal government delay the switch to digital television?  Given a growing list of glitches with the transition, there’s momentum building to push back the transition date.

Due to high demand of coupons, there are some big changes in the government’s converter box coupon program.
