Some antennas work better than others in certain locations, so shoppoing for one requires some research and care. Buying a converter box (the Federal government provides a $40 subsidy against the cost) and using an antenna saves even more than buying an HDTV. However, not all converter boxes are the same, so careful shopping for that item too is  important. When one gets the right combination, the reception is as good or better than cable. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bill]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 16th 2008 5:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to Save Money on Your Monthly Tech Bills 19]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-19/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-19/</guid><description><![CDATA[ um...I dont get it.....all I've been hearing is ditch your antenna!!!...now you're suggesting to buy an antenna...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cindi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 20th 2008 5:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to Save Money on Your Monthly Tech Bills 19]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-19/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-19/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nope. You don't ditch your antenna unless you don't want to buy a converter box. Here's how it works:<br><br>In February of 2009 they are converting the traditional "over-the-air" analog TV signal to an "over-the-air" DIGITAL signal. Therefore, you will have to buy a converter box to hook up BOTH your TV & antenna to..then you will receive your original channels again and maybe some extra ones.<br><br>If you plan on ALWAYS using Cable or Satellite providers then don't worry about buying a converter box. Check Best Buy for questions or visit <a href="http://dtv.gov/" rel="nofollow">http://dtv.gov/</a> for more info.<br><br>Any antenna should do (but some are better at picking weak signals) & the Federal Government provides a two $40 vouchers for each household.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Light Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 21st 2008 12:54AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
