Earlier in the Overton's thread, i was comparing pricing of buying a
bow light from Wal-mart or mail order. I don't need either one, but
was just noting that Wallies was cheaper priced for the exact same
thing that ws available from Overtons.

It was mentioned that overtons had a good quality USA built Bimini
which i do need and will investigate further.

Then I hear about this.

Im now a Wal-box fan. Never was, never will be. and this helps me make
decisions on where to shop.

Along that line, I ordered the coupons for the digital converter and picked
up a couple of the boxes. Even though I'm on Dish, I hooked one up to one
of my old TVs. I couldn't believe the quality of the picture I got just
using rabbit ears for the local stations. Got a couple of extra signals
broadcast by the local stations, also. If I could get my wife weaned off
watching the Suns (NBA) and Diamondbacks (MLB), I'd consider dropping the
Dish.
