House Votes to Delay Digital TV Switch to June 12

The U.S. will push back the transition to digital television until June 12 from Feb. 17 after the House approved the delay because many households aren’t ready for the switch.

President Barack Obama will sign the measure postponing the date when major TV stations must stop using traditional analog signals, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Jan. 30. More than 6.5 million homes aren’t ready to receive digital signals, the Nielsen Co. said last month.
