This prediction is closed and is in the process of being judged.
With the impending switch to digital television, the broadcast television stations, news media and government have done a lousy job in getting the word out to Ma and Pa Consumer about the pending switch in January 2009.
When grandma finally finds out in December 2008 that the following month her beloved Phillips 13" TV can no longer receive Wheel of Fortune and Oprah from her "Radio Shack SuperColorMaster 2000" antenna, there will be hell to pay.
This prediction is simple. Some member of the US Congress will introduce legislation to put a hold on the scheduled switch of analog television to digital and that legislation will pass on or before 12-31-2008.
Editor's Note: This prediction's rules has been updated slightly on March 31 to better reflect the wishes of the community.

No such legislation to delay DTV mandate was even proposed. Unfavorable judgment can now be rendered.
