    Digital tv was a lie by the government to sell all the bandwidth for cell phones of rich people

    The United States is now a third world country with a third world economic system and a third world communications infrastructure. This new United States will never be able to afford to provide the infrastructure, bandwidth and channel capacity required for a completely digital system. Hence, digital communications of all types will always be unreliable and intermittent. The "cloud" is a for the wealthiest people in the wealthiest locations and everyone else is just SOL. And since all the politicians belong to that select wealthiest group, any petitions sent to them will be meaningless.

    My family lives in the Sierra foothills. Since you robbed us of analog tv without consulting us first my family can only get two channels with the converter box provided. It would have cost you nothing more to provide all of us with small satellite dishes. Instead you have denied us the very PUBLIC airwives you promised to protect. Please fix it now. As usual it is the less fortunate who are continuing to suffer at the hands of greed and stupidity.

    I have a new TV and an antenna. Right after the switch to DTV I was able to get 2.5 - 3 channels. Now I barely get one. It just keeps getting worse. Even if I could afford it I refuse to pay for 100 channels I don't want or need through cable or satellite. I can' even watch the 6 o'clock news anymore. I am convinced this was just another part of the government's plan to subjugate the masses and further line the already overflowing pockets of the wealthy elite. Thank God for NPR. Oh wait, they want to get rid of that too!

    Almost 50% of the United States has NOT benefited from the conversion to DTV, as in, no signal. So what's the alternative? Just think PAY TV. The government benefits from people paying for things (additional revenue through taxes paid in). DTV is here to stay. No more free TV.

    It would be very easy to access television without a converter box. Especially on portable televisions. There are not any battery operated dtv boxes, anyway.

    Bring back Analog TV, damn it. Digital TV complete sucks and some of us cant afford a converter box, or them flat-screen TV's that have digital tuners. Enough is enough. Bring back Analog TV.

    Does anyone really think that congress cares that we don't get TV reception anymore? It's over people. Throw your TV away.

    I gotta say "what works for some does not always work for others" !!! digital tv is useless especially here we have a lot of hills and mountains, like my grandfather always said and he was a highly respected business man "If it ain't broke don't fix it" I didn't even need a antenna to receive analog tv, now with digital I forgot what its like to watch tv let alone hear what they are saying !!!

    What a stupid, lame conspiracy to make everyone pay for tv. Unless you're right by the tv station, you can't pick up DTV. I drive a truck, and my tv is useless because I never have a signal anywhere. Hope there's not an emergency transmission because I'm just out of luck!

    Bring back analog TV, Digital TV does not work and I can never get a channel to come in right. And it's even worse during a storm. So much for watching the weather during a severe storm. I also do not live in the country, I live in Cary, NC just outside Raleigh. With analog I had many local stations, now with Digital, I have to constantly play with the antenna and I never actually get to watch TV. Digital sucks and we DEMAND analog come back, if you keep digital that's fine. but we DEMAND analog be put back on the airwaves too. Most TV stations still have the old equipment anyway. Let them use it!

    PLEASE bring back our analog tv. We DO NOT get reception where we live with a digital antenna on the roof of our house...which we had to pay $100 for. No tv's in our house will work since the big change. We REFUSE to get cable tv so we can simply watch the local channels we used to get with analog. PLEASE bring analog back!!!
