[HPFGU-OTChatter] D2A TV Converters Again--Technical Question

[Lee Storm (God Is The Healing Force)]

| Donna Says:
| Lee, I may be mistaken but I believe the TV converters are 
| meant to be used
| with televisions still connected to the old fashioned, 
| on-the-roof antennas
| or rabbit ears, not with cable, satellite, or laser TV.

[Lee]:
They need to be used with cable if the TV is analog and one is not using the
cable company's converter box.

But I now know what my problem is!  How's this for a waste of my time: Our
American Wal-Mart sold us boxes for *Canada*!  Scream!  Now we've got to go
back and return them and let them know that these Magnavox things are not
for American frequencies and demand to know why by Merlin's Pants they're
selling these, and hope we can get what we want/need on the American band.

That's the story so far.  I probably won't get a chance to hit Wal-Mart
until Saturday or Monday.

Cheers,

Lee :-)
