Has anyone tried those converter boxes yet?

Question

I have considered cutting off my cable and trying one when they change the satellite signal in February. Has anyone else tried the boxes yet?

Answer 1

I have two of the Zenith/Insignia models. They work great.

Keep in mind that these converters install between your TV antenna and TV. How good is the analog reception in your area with an antenna? Digital TV broadcasts travel between the TV transmitters and your TV antenna the same way that analog ones do. I've seen my conveters get good digital reception while the analog version of the same station had a poor picture quality, but the converters have to have some reasonable signal to work with.

What change in satellite signal? The only change I'm aware of next Feb only is the shutdown of most analog over the air broadcasts. What of you  think is going to happen?
