Digital converter box

Chris and I have not had cable once since we've been married...over 6 years! While we would like the football options and Fox News - we're just not willing to pay the outrageous price of cable. So, we've relied on bunny ears. Yes, bunny ears.
We were getting a bit anxious about the February 17 transition to digital TV. After that day, our bunny ears would not give us the few channels we enjoy now.
So, I went on-line and requested the $40 coupon for the converter box. It took over a month to get - but, I was impressed with the information it included. They gave me 8 retailers and their contact info that are authorized distributers of the boxes.
Chris made a couple of trips to our local Wal-Mart and was able to get an RCA converter box for $14 (after the $40 coupon).
He hooked it up a few days ago and............
OH MY! Our local channels are SO clear! Plus, we are getting a few more channels. We have been told that we may get more channels after the 17th. Too much!!!
We are loving the free digital tv we're getting. And, my check book is happy too!
