I'm still fairly confused myself as to what all will have to be done
to upgrade my televisions. I suppose there will be an added expense
to purchase the converter boxes. I think there are so many free ones
but then that's it, right?? Or is it so many per household.??
You will need to purchase converter boxes. These will most likely not
deliver as good a picture as you are used to seeing on your analog set
(pixelization, etc). I know our satellite TV has this problem.
The boxes will not be free. Current estimates are about $70 each, and the
government will give out vouchers, if requested, good for $40 toward the
purchase of up to two converter boxes per household.
I'm just glad I don't own a TV.
That explains a lot.
