I live in NY and for the most part get excellent pictures with the box
off my indoor and outdoor antennas ( i have 2 separate box's for each
TV ). In the old days, there was always the problems with
'ghosts'...seeing halo's around a figure. Now, with these box's we
lose usually at most inopportune times the dialogue and if the
picture is fine, the audio pops in and out. ..so what was the point of
these conversions..instead of ghosts, now it pixels. At least with
ghosts, the audio was in tact.

Mine doesnt.

Lots more channels, much longer distances from the transmitter, with
a properly implemented system, no audio dropouts or pixellation at all.

Dont get any of those myself in the bad sense. All
systems have pixels, even the old analog system does.

My audio is fine. And no ghosts either. And its a hell a lot easier to record as
well.

Those boxes aren't worth the cardboard they come in. Break open your
wallet and buy modern LCD HD televisions. You'll probably make back the
money is just power savings alone.

These are older crt tv sets and this is a frugal forum isn't it? why
should I throw away good tv sets cause the government made changes? As
frugal as i may be, i have a 55'' lcd hd tv for your information...i
am talking about bedroom and kitchen tv sets where a box is needed.
