Converter Disappointer

Have you switched your tv to the converter box - if needed?? I did. *sniff* It doesn't do what I expected AT ALL!! "NO SIGNAL" was all I got!!! :( double frown :(

I just watch dvd's, my tv doesn't work the greatest. I thought this "magic box" would make a BEAUTIFUL picture. Funny - if Bush were president, you know this would ALL be his fault!!! Actually, it still probably could be b/c we were issued the announcement of this change during his presidency.

Oh well. I was ok w/not watching tv, until I was teased with the fact that I could - and now I'm sad - b/c I can't! What makes me even more sad is I had to rearrange furniture to reach extra outlets ( no power strip ), and I was up really late, And THEN I saw "No Signal." Maybe the signal sleeps after midnight! Between that and my ink cartridge incident, I had a very interesting weekend!!

Did you get channels before? I have heard that the box should help you pick up more channels than before, but I think for those of us that live in the country that might not be the case.

Per a discussion we had w/ my great-uncle about this - he hooked his up and did not get some of the channels he normally gets. B/c the box is programmed to pick up the digital channels, it will not pick up a station until they switch over (which may not be until they absolutely have to). I have no idea if this is what you're dealing with, but just an idea.

We are still waiting on our box and will hopefully get it hooked up this weekend.
