    Yes and no. The TV in the living room is attached to cable. I flipped through the channels when I got home - didn't look any different to me than before the conversion . The TV in the bedroom is the one I got for my high school graduation in 1983. I need to get a converter box or a new TV back there.

    My cable bill has gone up at least once a year since I moved to the place I live now. It's so frustrating because we have to have cable to get any kind of reception. If I wanted to switch to satellite TV I'd have to put the dish on the balcony rail, but I don't want to do that because the rail is already loose in the mortar. Hence - cable.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    I have a long time hate for Comcast but that's another thread.

    Seriously, Richard and Cassiesmom, if you need a converter box PM me your address and I'll send it. I have no use for the extra one.

    Reset the TV tuner card in this computor today. Friday I had 7 TV channels, today I have 12, 10 TV and 2 FM radio.

    I cant do to much on this comp if I want to watch TV or the video starts clipping.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!

    I have two extra boxes myself. I don't think that anyone really has the answers for all the questions. I got the coupons for the TVs AFTER my converstation with the cable gal.

    Oh well, I think that there is a TV in the garage in my future!


    I guess a radio that picks up the audio bands is useless now, too?
