It’s done. The House of Representatives just passed a bill to delay the DTV transition from February 17 to June 12th. The Senate has already done so. All that remains is the President’s signature, all but guaranteed.
I believe one of the small differences between this bill and the one the House defeated last week is that Broadcasters will have the option to go ahead with the conversion before the deadline. I don’t know what effect that will have here in Maryland, but it’s something to keep an eye on.
