I have digital HD TV's in my house, but it wouldnt have affected me anyway as I have DirectTV. I just took the old TV's to the office to put them in classrooms to play training tapes on then wrote off the new ones I bought .

Status: offline 		i have one tv that is in a room with no cable, so i use rabbit ears on it.  i just got a coupon for the box needed to have it still work when the change happens.  i guess time will tell if it works or not. 

every dang store around here carries them right now......i guess i better get one while the gettings good.
