Title: Do you have converter or cable
Post by: latina1129 on April 19, 2011, 06:46:30 am: I have the converter box for the simple reason that cable prices are to high and the converter box has channels worth while, I remember back in the days when we did not need no cable just an antenna, but these cable prices are ridicolous do you agree with me,,,,

I didn't have cable until I was like 13 or 14 growing up, so it isn't that hard living without it now as an adult. The only thing which makes me miss cable is not being able to see a lot of sporting events.

But, the digital converter boxes work great. We get like 14 stations which come in crystal clear.

Post by: joannaingram84 on April 21, 2011, 03:24:58 am: I have satellite and a digital converter with an antennae. I have the satellite because I am only able to pick up three channels on my antennae tv. I'm fortunate though the three channels I do get are my favorite channels. Two of those channels I can only get using the digital converter, the other I can get on both.
