As we said before, people won't do anything until their TV's go blank, it's the putting off things that I think most if not all Americans do (nothing against you or your fam Ana or anyone who has put this off, just the way we are, I'm guilty of putting things off as well).  The unfortunate thing is the transition is now occurring when severe weather may be more active than it was in February.

My tv is ready for DTV. The picture is very clear just like a satellite dish and digital cable. You can also get free DTV channels is you're tv or a dvd recorder have a DTV tuner. :)

Oh nooo. Offense not taken at all, Ryan. :)
Last week my mom just got the $40-discount coupon from the mail, and she don't know where to use/spend/buy at. And I do guarantee that we will wait until our TVs are blank (but we have satellite so I wonder..why do we need the coupon anyways? :thinking:)

If you get local channels through your satellite, then you don't need the box, if you get it through an antenna, then you need the box or a DTV-ready TV.  We get local channels through the satellite but we actually have an antenna on a DTV-ready TV as backup in case the sat goes out during bad weather(do both because we can't get all local channels clear without adjusting antenna and can't DVR them OTA).

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. There will be times that the satellite will go out unexpectively. So maybe one converter box is okay for emergencies.  :noexpression:
