If the law turning off analog TV in 2009 is invalid and unconstitutional then it is no law at all. But without that legislation analog TV is already illegal, at least with the various 85% qualifications. So we legally should have turned it off at the end of last year. There was no legal extension.
Correct as to the last sentence, but the 85% was only the third of three exemptions. The second was that converters had to be generally available. Are they?

TTFN,
