I was in Best Buy today and saw someone picking up a converter box while I was looking at TV's. She asked me if this was the box that she needed to buy to keep her TV working. I asked her if she got her TV with an antenna. She said "no I have cable". I then asked if she had a cable box, she said yes. I told her that she didn't need a converter box and the cable company will give her a new digital box if she still has an old one. She told me that her friend told her that her TV wouldn't work if she didn't get the new box.

I'm afraid a lot of people are probably going to think the same thing.

Sometime you poll for the reasons we don't subscribe to cable or satellite. For myself, the $40/month the cable company wanted in '85 was too much, the satellite companies were still using 12-foot diameter dishes on concrete pads, and in my location I get about 22 stations ota. So I just never built the cost of cable or satellite into the household economy.

And here's the kicker: when I called the local cable company in '85 the customer service rep did not tell me about their "super basic" subscription for only $12/month! I found out about that just a couple years ago. If they had told me about it back then I probably would have been hooked!
