i imagine that most of you have cable, a dish, or whatever payservice for television watching purposes, but how is everyone else feeling about this converter box business?

personally, i prefer a staticy/snowy picture to this weirdcolored pixelized disruption business when the signal is interrupted. i had to move the box and antenna near the window to get a decent picture. honestly, i don't understand the reason for The Switch. were we running out of airwave space? was there money to be made somewhere? this makes me feel old.

if it wasn't for nhl and nfl i wouldn't have any cable, but as it stands now i spend a kabillion dollars per month for hdtv which i don't use for anything but jeopardy all summer.

pretty sure i read somewhere that this frees up airwave space for faster wireless internet and cell phones.

besides, dtv has a much better picture. get a better antenna, mount it as high as possible, or the best option: mount your antenna outside on the roof.

I haven't really had any problems. people used to think I was weird for not having tv, but hey! I get 6 channels now.

i have to agree with you, a snowy picture is better than the pixelation/ no picture this new shit is bringing. but on the bright side the only tv show i ever really watch is conan and the night reception is decent.

i heard the reason for the switch was so emergency services can use all the analog wavelength, ie 911 storm services perhaps a new civil unrest hotline.

and i'm sure the conspiracy freaks have a entire crackpot theory for the switch
