Digital Converter Boxes

[Laura's Babies]

I have a digital TV but I have a converter to take to the boat for my TV there. I am hoping it won't be to hard to hook up, if it is, I will just get one of the guys to do it for me. (I hope)

I got a converter box and power rabbit ears a few months back before the first date they were going to switch to digital.

My original thoughts had been to cancel the cable, watch network tv via the converter box and get the rest from the net. However the converter box and antenna were a waste of my money.

Want to guess how many channels I can get with it????

ONE!

It's a PBS channel and it's fuzzy much of the time. Well that was $60 totally wasted!!!

So I ended up downgrading the cable to the lowest package they have and hope they continue to keep translating their broadcasts into analog so my tv will be able to view it. *sigh*

Catlady711-Did you try moving your rabbit ears around? They told us here over and over that the digital towers are in different locations than the analog ones and people with rabbit ears would have to move them around to find the signal. They showed us maps of the old towers and the new ones and they are waaaay apart.. They said you may even have to move your TV to another location to get the digital signal...

Give the cable company awhile to move their equipment to pick up the digital signal.... unless they told you that is all you will get... My cable has not been interrupted at all..If fact, they kept telling us cable would not be interrupted, all along.
