Just saw this article, indicating that the "delay the move to digital-only TV" bill which I'd treated as a done deal after it got unanimous support in the Senate, was today voted down in the House of Representatives (technically, it got a majority vote, but not a two-thirds majority which would allow its passage along the fast track that it was put on). Just when Granny thought that she'd have no problems watching TV after Feb 17th, it looks like she's back on the hot seat again (for the moment).
[Update Feb 6/09: Now it sounds like a more formal vote passed yesterday, meaning that the conversion to digital will be delayed until (at least) June!]
