Congress has approved a four month delay for broadcasters to conform to the digital air signal standard. They should probably do a digital test day or two now so everyone clearly gets the idea of what’s going to happen.
Last month I received two discount coupons from the government program and promptly went to Target to buy two HDTV converter boxes (here’s an example Venturer Digital Converter Box). You’ll need one converter for each non-HDTV television set. With the coupon the $49.99 price gets knocked down to $9.99.
In addition to that each box needs a digital HDTV antenna – I ordered a Philips High Performance Amplified Indoor Uhf/Vhf/Fm/HDTV Antenna
