Holy crap.

Anyone bought one yet? Suggestions?

Do you need one? If you have digital cable or Sat, you're all set. If you
are still using rabbit ears on an analog TV, then you do need one. I only
have one analog TV left, and it's hooked up to Sat, so no probs here.

If you do need one, they're only about 40 bucks, but if you act quickly,
you can get a $40 coupon from the Feds to cover it. I read recently, that
the coupon program is rapidly running out of cash.

What about people that have basic cable service without benefit of a cable
co. supplied box?
In other words, their cable connects directly from the wall to the back of
their analog TV?

That's what I have here with Comcast cable, and there's no issue.
Apparently they still send the analog signal.
They did move 4-5 channels away recently, to the "digital package."
I would need a box on each of my analog TV's for the "digital
package." That's why I haven't purchased it.
$18 bucks extra monthly becomes $33 bucks extra with box fees.
A million here and a million there..........
