    Government coupons for analog tv, received!

    I received my coupon today.  I would be able to purchase two boxes for $20 each.  Has anyone tried these boxes? Share with us your experience!

    I just purchased indoor antennas.  To my surprise the cheapest antenna worked best. ($8.99).

     I bought the boxes but just haven't sat down to try them... paid ~$10/box (plus tax).

    Where did you buy them for $20?

    Carmina and others - We bought our converters at Radio Shack and they were about $25 a piece with a coupon. Now here's the interesting thing. Last night on the 11:00 news, they did a story on a man in Syracuse NY who hooked his converter up and could not get all the HD signals from his house. He could get the local PBS station but not the big three (NBC, CBS or ABC affiliates). The took the converter box back to the station and had one of their engineers hook it up and it was fine. They figured out that it may be the guys location or his antenna maybe the problem. If its the antenna, it will cost about $100 to add something to it. Of course, I doubt this story will show up in the evening news. I guess its better to try hooking it up now and see what happens. Toni

    Good to know, my parents need these and I know my dad has been looking for coupons. They live in a small town but when the come to visit, we can head to Radio Shack or someplace similar.
