After seeing the bill pass unanimously in the Senate but then fail to pass in the House of Representatives, the Obama administration has said that the anticipated delay of the digital TV transition has passed the Senate again and is expected to pass in the House as well.
"We anticipate that the House will pass a delay on DTV until June 12," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs added.
The transition, making digital TV signals mandatory for those without cable or satellite subscriptions, was scheduled to occur on February 17th.
The current administration believes a delay is necessary as many households that still receive analog signals are not prepared for the transition.
