used to be that my biggest problem with TV was the interference I caused to
an old Philco set my parents had. actually, I did not cause the

filtered anyway...
February 2009 -- the current issue of Nuts n Volts has a longish article on
the scramble for set top boxes/converters for the new digital broadcast
standards. Everyone is going to get a $40 voucher to purchase 2
converters...wait until talk radio gets wind of this.
I don't see the problem. I throw away the TV's at home (all at least
fifteen years old now), my family's collective IQ goes up 50 or 60
points. Sounds like a win-win situation for me!
