same as sunday when I saw him at Hersheypark--him vs Jericho for the intercontinental title--Jericho came out on top again & tried to unmask Rey but when it was all said & done Jericho still has the belt & Rey still has his mask--his mask is a big deal in WWE--he took it off in WCW

With the analog signal? Lucky!! If I try to use it, all I would get are these infomercials on how to install the converter box. There's one channel that just has an image that says, "Make the switch to digital today!". Good luck on finding more channels!!

That really sux! One of the only reasons I still have the old analog hookup complete with antenna rotator and all. While a better image, I would prefer to have the old signal as it wouldn't go out as the current one does with all the storms we get. I now lose all signals with a strong fart. CALVIN!!

HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's probably the one thing I'll miss about the old signal. The images were fuzzy, but at least it held on despite the weather outside.
Oh, well...this technology is pretty new (correct me if I'm wrong). Maybe there will be improvements in the future. For now we'll just have to deal with the distorted images, I guess.
