Meh. I think I'll still get one. I get shitty reception with my rabbit ears, and this will really help.

Senate voted to push it to June, House voted no.

My mom has the Best Buy house-brand converter for her one tv that doesn't have FIOS. It works well, but still requires rabbit ears to work. Honestly, the only difference is that for channels that used to be static -- are now blacked out.
