DTV Converter Boxes Still in Demand
People still want and need TV Converter Boxes. As of this writing, it’s been over two years since the official cut-over to digital broadcasting. By this time you would think that all the converter boxes would have been sold a long time ago and the market for these devices would have shriveled up
WRONG! Even after this long time, the number of digital to analog converter boxes purchased continues to amaze me. In fact, so too the box manufacturers. Shortly after the cut-over date of June 12th, 2009, many manufacturers stopped making boxes and only the low quality or «dogs» were left on the shelves. It didn’t take long though, and a number of these companies realized the market was still alive and well. They went back into production and once again there’s a descent discount digital converter box offering.
I did a not-so-scientific poll to see why people are still buying these units and it became clear; People see these boxes as a way to save money. Especially in this time of economic woes, cutting the cable bill out of the monthly expenses is a real quick and easy way to add money back into the household budget.
In almost every TV market, the big 5 networks have a station broadcasting free over-the-air television programming. Sure, you won’t be getting the latest show on HBO, but you’ll be saving a ton on the cable bill and might even be able to save enough money in a month to take the family out for a night together.
Digital Television Broadcasting is pretty amazing. You ll likely receive many more stations than ever before. Your old TV will deliver clear sharp picture quality like you never experienced! You ll get more bang for your buck with additional features like Multicast and Electronic Program Guides…
