Default any you nogs bought a dtv converter yet?

seeing as my precious analog tv will not be visible in about 6 months i am looking for a good dtv to analog converter, what have you guys bought and hows it working.

I just realized I was int he 21st century and got a digital TV. You can go to a pawn shop and get a decent digital TV for a few hundred bucks. :1

I just applied for the govt coupons today.

I am getting two $40 coupons. So the question is, what do these things cost in the store?

If you have a satellite or cable box, you won't need it.

You'll only need it for over the air broadcasts.

I got those coupons but will never buy a old skool tv, and I don't really watch tv.
