I won't pay for crap (which is what I think of 99.999999999% of TV), so I'm still on rabbit ears. I did the whole "the government allowed me to have $40 of my own money back on a voucher" thing, and spent it on a converter yesterday. It's actually pretty cool. Nearly like having cable without the cable. The digital signal contains program info (like what's coming up next), and none of the channels are fuzzy or snowy in the least. It seems that if it can pick the signal at all (some of my channels are only at 40% strength) the picture is crystal clear. I did have some trouble picking up channel 8, which is funny since they brag so much about being first and best at everything. Brandon, you’re not alone in DFW. I just made the switch last night.

We are getting a pretty good deal, cable and internet $60 a month for a full year. Up until 2 weeks ago we had the ears, but I was tired of adjusting them everytime I changed the channel.
