Out with the old, in with the new.
Old analog Televisions can no longer get reception from the classic TV antennas. The government established a program to help people keep up with the change in technology (www.dtv.gov). We signed up for a TV converter box coupon a couple months back.
The only way to view the public television channels is either to buy a new digital TV, get a converter box, or have satellite TV. Anyway I took the trouble to set up the TV. It's just a pain in the ass to set up because now I have to add yet another set of cables to link up my already complicated chain of crap. The sad thing is, now my VHS is obsolete--I can no longer record public television shows. It's also very frustrating to have to turn on both the TV and the converter box in order to watch channel 11. Lastly, now I have five remote controls, and it's very confusing.
