Gulp! It's D-day

| | Comments (0) |
The digital conversion starts today as you may have read in today's paper. You've probably heard it a zillion times already with messages scrolling across your television screen and everybody from PBS hosts to Oprah reminding you buy that converter box.

Yet an estimated 250,000 in the L.A. area is still not in the know. If you use rabbit ears on a tv that doesn't take in digital signals (only the recently purchased ones do), you'll have to buy a converter box. Best Buy, Wal-mart and other stores that sell electronics have them. But try to get a coupon here first.

Reviews are mixed about the digital conversion. Cable-less people like myself who've already made the switch find that some channels are stronger with digital but other channels are weaker. As a Pomona resident, I'm more or less pleased with the digital change but what about in Rancho? Are there channels you can't get with your converter box?
