Digital converter boxes????

Question

two days ago i signed up for the coupon thing, When should the coupons be in by??? and do they really better the picture quality???

i kinda also wanted to know if the boxes really do add more channels

your answers will be accepted gladly

Answer 1

they should come within 3-4 weeks.

they ACTUALLY DO better the picture quality. the only bad part is that sometimes i have to move the antenna because it would get all "blocky" (like the whole screen will look like a really bad youtube video).

and they did add new channels for me (we didn't have The CW before and now we do)

Answer 2

My experience has been 3-4 weeks on receiving your coupn and 90 days from the issue date to use them.

Many of the digital stations offer multiple channels (featuring news,weather or special interest programming. So most likely yes, you will receive more stations.  Heres a link to a site which will give you a rough idea of what you can currently see in your area. http://www.titantv.com/quickguide/quickg...

The picture quality will be static free (that's what digital is all about) unless your signal is too weak and then it may pixillate or not receive at all.So if you were getting snow before,you will get a better picture.

If you were getting LOTS of snow, you may not get a picture.

I think you will be pleased with the picture quality.

Here's some info to help you decide which box to get.

Good luck!

Answer 3

If you get OK reception now with analog (minimal snow or herringbone patterns), then you should get rock solid digital reception. The quality is much better due to vastly improved digital tuners and the inherent robustness of digital transmission.

You will probably find that many stations have a number of secondary channels. For example, channel 5 may have 5-1, 5-2, etc up to 5-4 or 5-5. The subchannels beyond 5-1 are typically standard definition (SD) channels. The main channel 5-1 is normally the HD channel. Currently, many stations add news and weather broadcasts, or children's programming on the secondary channels. You can probably expect them to get more creative with the extra channels in the future.
