Question: Why should we have to pay hundreds or even thousands just to watch tv its bad enough that we have to pay so much for cable or other providers just to watch some shows.
Question: What if you have Insight Cable, will my 2000 to 2007 TV's work as they are?
Question: If I get a converter box and plug it in will I still be able to use my rooftop antenna or do I have to subscribe to cable?
Answers: You don't have to spend a lot of money to watch tv. Converter boxes will sell for $50 - $70. The government will allow you the opportunity to get 2 - $40 coupons that you can apply towards the purchase of a converter box. If you choose to pay a cable company for TV services your analog TV will still work. If you get a converter box, your current TV antenna will work fine. Make sure you can receive VHF and UHF signals. A person's income has nothing to do with the governments decision to change TV standards to digital. They want to sell the bandwidth that's created to other businesses. Supplying converter boxes to consumers is part of their strategy to get control of the airwaves (or bandwidth) An "old" TV is a TV without a digital tuner. Some of these TVs could be less than a year old. Before you buy any new TV make sure it has a digital tuner. Don't be confused by an "HD Ready" TV. Those are monitors that will display the resolution of HD but they still need a tuner.
