Re: [IRCA] OT TV converter boxes

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

Thanks Mike. I have heard both pro and con regarding digital coverage.
Some say, it is better and others say it isn't. Out here on the OR
coast, it may be years until the translators go to digital as the date
is 2012. I have a Toshiba EDTV (30 inches widescreen that has a built in
digital tuner I bought a year ago. I get nothing on it so far. I have
satellite TV, Dish, 4DTV, DVB, Stat Choice (Canada), so the digital TV
converter box is really nothing I am excited about one way or another,
but I fiqured if I buy one for recording to a VCR, I should try and find
the best for the money. Since the Toshiba TV has the digital tuner, I
presume it will work when the time comes. Who knows digital TV skip may
be possible here. Not really interested in HDTV. There is not enough out
there as yet for the added cost. I read tonight about the Zenith &
Insignia converter boxes on another list and those seem to be the
favorites with weak signal reception. If I lived in a city, it would be
different, but out here, I will stick with SD TV for the time being,

73,
