My inlaws (almost 80 years old)

Have been thinking the sky is falling after messages came out, worried that they'd have to pay for cable, and buy an HD TV.
I went and got them signed up for the cable box coupons.
They never bought them (too expensive)... didn't want to pay ~$19 from Radio Shack after rebate
I took my coupon, went to Wal-Mart, bought a box, brought it over and hooked it up. Instantly, they had 58 OTA channels, including the subs (Los Angeles area).
Then they went and bought their own OTA boxes

I helped a 76-year-old woman a couple weeks ago. Someone else she knows ordered the coupon for her. I went and bought the Radio Shack converter and installed it for her. Oh my God. "I never had channel 7. I don't *want* channel 7 because I didn't have it before. ... I never had two channel 15's... I never had to push two buttons to turn the TV off."

No she sits all day and watches the new .2 channels that constantly display temperature, weather radar, traffic conditions.
