We don’t subscribe to cable (we do netflix, instead) but we’ve gotten a coupon and are trying to find a converter box. The problem is that the stores are always out of the cheaper boxes (the ones that will be free or $10 with the coupon). We don’t want to pay $40 or $50 in addition to our coupon. The fact is that we haven’t turned on our tv to watch it since we got rid of cable. But I wanted to have a box so that we would have the option in the future.

I second Ira – we Netflix everything. We turned off Cable in January and are happy it’s gone.

We will be getting the converter – it’s the only way we can hope to see NFL games (CFL we can watch, live, on ESPN.)

I forgot about them switching this February so thanks for the heads up and for this great coupon. I’m gunna go see if our Rite Aid has the box for $40 (or free after the rebate). Also since my husband and I do not have cable since its expensive and a distraction, we Netflix all our TV shows which I really like better since I can watch them start to finish and with no commercials, just a thought if you decide to stop getting cable.

We don’t have cable right now, so we use the box. With the analog antenna, the reception was quite fuzzy, and it’s crystal clear with the digital box…and you get extra channels. Like a previous poster stated, sometimes, the reception can skip a bit during inclement weather. All in all, I think the digital signal is great!

I do not have cable and never have. Instead I went out and bought a 42 in LCD television. I now FEEL like I have cable with all the EXTRA FREE digital stations that I get.

With the coupons the boxes were only $10 each here, so I picked up one.

We have one digital tv and one analog tv. We still have basic cable, but if they up the price, we are going to cable.

Weird thing, when we bought our house, the old TV tower was something that I wished was gone, now I am glad it is there.

Wow, Kacie, I never thought about this. We are dedicated cable users so I just assumed we shouldn't get a box. But what if that should change in the future? Maybe we should invest in a box just in case. I am going to have to talk to the old man about this.Dani's last blog post..Pennies from Heaven
