House of Representatives Votes NO DELAY for Digital TV Switch

The Senate passed a delay bill unanimously, but the HOR wasn't so kind. They defeated the bill 258-168.

The defeat was a setback for the Obama administration and Hill Democrats, who are concerned that too many Americans are not ready to get digital programming. House Republicans have argued that postponing the date would cause confusion for consumers and cost millions for broadcasters who have planned to make the transition.
