The fact the Gov is willing to give you $80.00 to buy 2 converter boxes is a plus! Your gonna need them if you currently watch NTSC off air. At the end of March 09 ALL analog signals will stop being transmitted over the air. DTV is here. If you have Cable or DTV or Dish you can still use a NTSC receiver. If you depend on OFF AIR only, you will need a box! As far as who benefits ... YOU THE TV VIEWER DOES!!! Simple 73 de Pat KK6PD |
