I use a digital set top box here in the UK. As you say the picture quality is much better. Plus there's a lot of menu features and access to many more channels.

There can be an issue with aerials as well and that may need replacing in some houses here. I just moved and my last house couldn't receive all the digital channels because of the aerial.

I see the US is switching everyone on the same day. Ours is being done in phases and won't be complete till 2012.


>I still don't understand why anyone would wait with the availability of converters imminent. Order your coupon now, get the box. The difference is astounding.

>>I meant for the coupon. The coupon is only good for 90 days. It will give a discount for purchasing the box. If you don't plan on buying a box right away, then wait for the coupon until you do.
