Anyone who didn’t know they needed a converter apparently didn’t watch much TV anyway.
As for programming the box, I bought one at WalMart (RCA) that suffered from instructions that omitted a key step. I bought one at Radio Shack for $10 more that was not a problem.
Of course, since the digital signals are much weaker, I’ll probably have to spring for a rooftop or attic antenna.

We moved around a fair amount when I was a kid. Dad was always setting up / hooking up rooftop antennas. It has been done for decades, and isn’t that hard or expensive.
Well, that’s not much of a problem - I know about a year ago my dad got some wire and stuff from the garage, did a Google search, and rigged up one of his own, and it works great. Even if you don’t have a whole lot of skill with building things, it’s not that hard.
