Digital TV Blues

I am so frustrated with the converter box issue, and after the scare when I went to the park and the tornado sirens went off while the dogs and I were there, I made the ill-advised decision to purchase a digital TV set today. I will start with the positive - it works better than the converter box, but the negatives are lengthy: 1. I had to buy my new digital television on credit 2. I had to also purchase a new antenna 3. It looks like I don't get any signal at all for most of the day 4. In the early evening I start to get a broken, pixilated image off and on which is very difficult to try to watch and even harder to listen to 5. I can get some signal later at night but it is still choppy and isn't reliable. 6. I only get one channel, just like before with my old analog TV. So, I am still without reliable television reception, and now I have spent money on a new TV I should have applied to home repair or health issues. However, I did get to watch some of the Farrah Fawc

Converting Analog Televisions to Digital TV Not Working for Many

Converting Older Analog Televisions to Digital TV Not as Easy as Promised I'm still without television as the converter boxes don't work on my old 1985 Quasar TV set. I have jumped through hoops and wasted too much of my life since February trying to make the converter box changeover and nothing works. You can read the full article at "Converting Analog Televisions to Digital TV Not as Easy as Promised" Magnavox DTV Digital to Analog Converter Box # TB1110MW9 and Other Converter Boxes Do Not Work on My Television I don't watch a lot of television, but I do depend on my TV during tornadoes or other crisis, so I have tried and tried to make this work. If I hold the converter box just right, occasionally I can pull in a pixilated black and white picture with no sound but a hiss. The picture lasts a few seconds before it is gone. Usually I can't pull it in again for several hours or several days. On June 17 after some midday storms, the sky cleared and the sun cam
