In a precarious house, located on the street Michoacan Mrs. Angeles, a native of Veracruz lives. After moving from one colony to another, the 60-year-old arrived at number 10 of the street Michoacan live there for 24 years.
The house consists of two small rooms and a kitchen, most walls are wood and cardboard and tin roofs.
21 years ago they bought a 32-inch TV at that time as they paid 2000 pesos. “It was difficult to raise the money at that time was like now buy a screen that costs 20 pesos, made many sacrifices to pay for fertilizer,” says Cristina, daughter of Los Angeles.
The TV is on good condition, “I know my stuff look,” says Angeles and adds that it has always been careful with their belongings because you have trouble getting them.
It is asthmatic, diabetic and hypertensive and age can no longer work . Pagan thousand pesos of rent, the rest of the resources used for food.
Cristina, who is a single mother, says that two weeks ago he learned on television that the old TVs stop working, “so we learned that would be the blackout “.
The developers who visited told them that all beneficiaries of Prospera and Liconsa program receive a screen, but the favored were selected through a raffle.
Although Los Angeles has a screen, no good because he knows how to program and can not see any channel. “The lights one and this just says run-Scan message appears, but no longer lets you go from channel”, says Cristina.
“The government makes and breaks and owns most of us also They did not ask. To me they did not want me to support because I live in the center, but need to see what living conditions, “says Angeles.
Now that women seniors can not watch TV,” what I have left ?, What I have fun? As I suffer from anxiety and depression, what I feel right now is no longer to have the TV turned on to listen because I no longer felt alone. “
Local without entertainment. Televisions placed on establishments also remained muted. Virginia, 45, agrees that the blackout detriment of their customers, but has no money to buy a screen.

John lives in Colonia La Era, in Iztapalapa, along with his wife, Marisol Ortiz, and his two daughters.
“Yes I heard about the digital switchover, as they switched to HD, better resolution, improvement to television, more channels but we were not prepared, we are a young couple and the economy does not allow us, “said John in his house consisting of a room, a small room and a kitchen.
Martinez Ortiz family received digital television by the government, it is not part of the standards of the Ministry of Social Development (SEDESOL) and their income does not allow them to acquire a decoder or a pay TV system.
“We were difficult, it was not the right time for change because the economy in the country is very run down,” says John.
“We can not buy a television and decoders are expensive, and eat or buy a decoder “he laments.
” The blackout maybe is beneficial, but not necessary at this time, could withstand years, “he said.
