Going Digital

Well, I've kind of been updating on what it's like with those digital converter boxes over the last month or two. Here's the final consensus...we are SO getting satellite!

Currently we have three boxes, one is hooked up to our old roof-top antenna and that one works (sort of, doesn't pick up all the channels we could have), one is hooked up in my parent's room and is never on because it picks up nothing, and the third is in its box sitting in my closet waiting to go back because it doesn't pick up anything in our room either. We live in one of THE worst areas to be trying to pick up any signals so this is why I had a feeling that they wouldn't work. Hopefully the store won't think I've actually used it and will refund me since it's been a while since I bought it. We all got sick and there was no way I was leaving the house then.

It's such a pain knowing that I had to spend about $100 on an antenna and box that won't work for us and may not get that money back. Ugh. I di wish that we had the money to replace our TV and get an LCD HDTV but I don't think that would make any difference either and we'd still have to get a service, so I'd much rather spend the money on the service alone. Man, it's such an ordeal. Thank goodness they've extended the transition date.
