I was told all these wonders that would happen with the conversion. I bought my box for $17 over the coupon and plugged it in. Now, I can't get NBC, PBS, and Fox! When we went to Radioshack, they said we were not alone, and they had a run on indoor antennae in a (futile) effort to get these channels. This is not true that we get these channels, and I read online (on Consumer Reports) that digital is much more touchy than analog. Please do follow up on consumers, who are actually trying to do this, or talk to RadioShack, etc. to cover those who do not find this conversion so easy or effortless.
