Not anyone can just run hither tither and replace the tv set in their homes like you replace an empty tube of toilet paper. I have ordered two coupons for converter boxes and I'm not the slightest itty bit ashamed for having done so.

Not necessarily true (as in my case). I live in an apartment, and have cable, but no cable box. My cable line plugs directly into the wall. I've been told that if you don't have a cable box, then you still have to get the converter box.
