I received my first converter box call. You guessed it, she can not get our
analog signals and our digitals are still low power.

I just got my converter box coupons yesterday. They
list 34 models of converter box that are eligible for
purchase with the coupon, and only 3 of them are
capable of passing through analog.
For more info, they say check www.DTV2009.gov/lowpower
or www.NTIADTV.gov/cecb_list.cfm By the time you read
this, I'm sure there'll be more changes.
