I know the new digital signals are supposed to improve our lives and make it better as our local television channels keep telling us. I just find the whole thing frustrating. Yes, I am one of those people who still have rabbit ear antennas. I refuse to pay for cable. I watch enough tv with my farmer five channels, thank you. I went ahead and bought a digital tv to replace my smaller television, so I have slightly adapted. We requested a coupon for a converter box for our main tv. We are on the waiting list and don't know when we'll get the box.
Congress delayed the conversion until June, but unfortunately our local tv is still changing over on Tues. My hubby and I went and bought a DVD recorder, so we can record shows off the smaller tv. Simple solution for the time, right? Wrong! The DVD recorder is so complicated that even my hubby and I after spending hours playing with it still can not record anything.
I'm glad to know digital is supposed to make things better because for me, it's just a joke. Anyone want to come over and hook up my tv? Or do you have the same issue?

Digital TV is a Commie plot, like the metric system and cream of wheat.
It's 2009, just get cable.
I truly don't know how you survive without cable. It is like a necessity to me. I have lived without it in the past, but it is definitely a luxury I enjoyed nad missed.
I refuse to pay a monthly fee for my tv. I don't need cable.
Melissa knows that the Trilateral Commission and the Federal Guv'm't is using cable and dish-tv to keep track of what we are watching and sending out subliminal messages to brainwash us. After all, if I weren't being brainwashed, would I watch American Idol? (Hmm.. I started this comment as a joke, but, you know, really, with Kroger keeping track of all food and medicine we buy, our cars' GPS systems telling where we are going and how fast, and credit cards and online shopping doing the rest, just who-all IS getting the info on us? Melissa's right! Let's all go off grid!)
