Don't have the exact figure for the cost of 4 extra months, but if you really care so much perhaps you should find it and enlighten us. However, I would bet lunch that it is still a tiny, tiny fraction of what the government received by selling off the wireless spectrum freed up by converting from analog to digital signals - almost $20 Billion!!! So you guys can stop complaining about how much the government spent on the digital tv conversion and start applauding for once the government made money instead of giving trillions to bailout undeserving companies!
