Congress doesn't want us to miss our stories any more than the networks do. Variety.com reports on a push by the House to delay the switch to digital broadcasting on February 17:

Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-West Va.), the incoming chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, and Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Los Angeles) have introduced bills that would delay the switch until June 12. Obama administration officials last week called on Congress to delay the transition, saying that the federal effort to prepare consumers for the switch had been insufficient and underfunded.
