Digital TV Coming in Feb 09 - Get Coupon for Converter!
If you have not heard, your regular old fashioned TV channels are going away in February 2009. They will be replaced with new digital signals. This means old TVs won't get reception. BUT if you purchase a new converter box, you can continue to use your older TV with the new signal. Simply apply for a coupon online at this site, and this will allow you to get one for around $10.00. It acts just like a VCR or cable converter box. It displays TV through channel 3. I must say that I just hooked my uncles up, and the quality of channel clarity is excellent. There are even more channels, believe it or not. Locally here in Baltimore, you can get special 24 hour weather channels from the main commercial stations. Nice and hidden feature that many people do not know about. I recall cable tv when it began, and the lure was a clear channel. Now you could even drop cable, but bare in mind many special channels only on cable, will still not be available locally. But what you will get will finally be clear!
