No I was joking but I don't have any that are HD. They all have a great picture so I just have a hard time replacing something that works great just to have the newest thing going. As the prices drop on HD TV's I'll probably go out and buy one. As far as TV's we have 4 and thats three in the house and one in the garage which is where I watch most of my football. As far as cable v/s Direct its been so long sense I have had cable it would be hard for me to compare the two.

How is the goverment providing funding for converter boxes creating new jobs? With or without their funding people still will needed the converter boxes.

The converter boxes have to be installed right? There you go! Heck! If it pays good I just might have switch jobs and............install converter boxes for a living! That job would be fun!

It would be fun until you had to walk into another persons house. I can just imangine the stories Comcast guys have.

When in HS I worked construction, we were putting an addition onto this house. Every morning this three bill lady boiled up a dozen eggs and proceded to eat them while watching us work, oh did I mention she dipped them in mayo as she went along. By 11 am I could smell her farts from out side the house. GROSS!!!

Later on down the thread, it sounds like you have DirecTV. If so, you don't need any converter boxes. Only people that pull their TV signal from the air need a converter.
