Digital converter boxes (tv)

[JohnnyD]

The digital converter boxes from uncle scam will only work for 4-5 channels. They are the digital version of the old rabbit ears antenna - only difference is that stations are broadcasting a digital signal instead of an analog one.

With Verizon, you're probably SOL on getting out of paying for their boxes. You used to be able to plug the coax direct from the wall into your tv if the tv had a tuner in it. I know Comcast squashed that, not sure if Verizon has too.
