Re: Not a concern yet
said by jc100  :Yes man, get get get. Takes money to buy things and some of us aren't independently wealthy or have the means to go and waste money on extras. I'll just wait and see if the box goes down in price. I imagine right now that 40 dollar coupon is only a partial cost of the box. Therefore, hopefully in a year itll be cheaper. The Magnavox converter is $49.95 before tax at Wal*Mart. Using the government coupon it wound up costing me about $11. It works like a charm.
I suspect as we get closer to February 17, 2009, they will get cheaper but I would not expect to see less than $29.95.

I've been able to get 24 HD channels with a Phillips set of amplified rabbit ears

I may just cut my DirecTv altogether.

Valencia, CA | Ooh you're in a lucky "hot" spot of Valencia. I can't get one channel!
Beware before you cancel DirecTV - ABC's signal is hit and miss.

| Yeah - I don't have ABC or FOX
I do get a lot though... I just put the rabbit ears at a 'good' spot on my roof, and hit 26 OTA
Also to note: antenna direction is VERY specific (ie. 99 degrees here) - make note of the direction from antennaweb.org, also, use a GOOD antenna - do not try the RCA indoor/outdoor - POS.
A slight turn in position will lose many channels.
Interestingly enough, I get analog ABC very good, buy no ABC HD.
