we gave up on cable years ago.
Then when we moved, it was too an area that didn’t have cable anyway.

So - next week we’ll probably watch our free signal go “poof” (local stations are still going digital next week).

I thought the prices of those little converter boxes would drop once all the coupons expired.

Whenever we visit someone with cable we say the same thing....Alot of channels - but there’s still NOTHING on!

The converter boxes have been available in the past over the internet for $40. With the coupon, that is approximately free.

The converter boxes have limitted commercial viability. If you need them, you should get them sooner as opposed to later, I bought my first converter about 6-7 years ago.

You should recieve a better picture and some useful extra channels. 24 hour local weather is one of the bonuses that I really appreciate.
