I went down to Radio Shack and bought a uhf outdoor antenna the other night. Hooked it last night. Get alll the local channels now that was going to cost me a bunch with a different directv package. So for $29 plus tax I am set for local channels. I bought my 50 inch hdtv last year, and the over the air digital channels are as clear as the HD channels. -- RODEO RAMBLINGS

In reply to: Hap 's message, "Everybody has to get ready for HDTV by Feb. 17 and I heard on the news yesterday they're not going to have enough converters to go around by that time. I know some people are buying flat screens that are HDTV ready to get around the problem. Not everybody wants to connect to cable or satalite which are digital and need no converter. Is this another example of gov screw up?" on 07:19:58 01/08/09 Thu

Varmit, Glad to know that worked for you. I was about to give Direct TV some more money-think I'll head to Radio Shack this weekend Thanks! (NT) -- Bruce, 10:30:52 01/08/09 Thu
- You still need a new HDTV compatable TV or else get the converter, is that right? (NT) -- Hap, 11:02:07 01/08/09 Thu
  - You don't need HD TV but do need a digital TV. I think it was March 2007 that all TV's had to be digital, but many were made before that. If not, you have to have one of those converters to get digital on an older analog TV. (NT) -- Varmit, 15:02:38 01/08/09 Thu
