Are you concerned about this Digital Television Big Switch? Federal officials say American households will have plenty of time to make sure their gadgets are ready for the congressionally mandated switch to all-digital broadcasts after February 17, 2009. They are saying over 60 million television will be affected after midnight February 2009. Some will have to purchase a converter box. Here is a link to a site where you can check this out. http://news.cnet.com/FAQ-What-does-the-digital-TV-switch-actually-mean/2100-1041_3-6210037.html Do you own a rabbit ears television?

Digital Convertor - Got two here already for the bedroom TVs

I recently purchased a new Home theatre system, DVD player and HD Digital LCD TV. I also have had 2 convertor boxes for months in the bedrooms. I used the Government coupons and they were basically free in cost. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

I just saw that on the television about the Government coupons. I don't know much about this technology stuff. Now I remember a discussion you started on this. That is what you were speaking of. The Big Switch.
