Good thanksgiving deal so far for someone who needs to use a converter box coupon. It is plug and play package and you do not need to find another HD antenna for the converter box.

Why the red? I am thinking of jumping on this because it seems like a good deal for antenna and converter box, but I am a little scared by all the red I am seeing. Anyone want to share their thoughts? |

PML said: Hmmm ... when I got the notification of this thread, the link showed it as being located in Hot Deals, not Free Stuff. Anyway, it's in Hot Deals now, but people are still giving it more red... |

Just in case anyone else has 2 coupons which need to be used (as I do), they have a double bundle on which you can use two coupons: This comes to two of everything in the OP's link, and it's for $80 (free after two coupons). Shipping to PA comes to $10 for me ($5 per unit). |

gccgrad said:Why the red? Probably because the only folks that need a converter box are those without cable or sat TV or without an HDTV set with digital OTA tuner, which in 2008 nearly 2009 is pretty lame The mods did move this from hot deals to free stuff and now back to hot deals, which explains some of the confusion.

. Get a new HDTV with ATSC tuner and dump the old sets or get basic cable (here, limited basic is $12.xx per month). The antenna is probably not going to help much either.-

does it give good reception on weak signals? I live far from the tv towers and don't get all the channels with dtvpal. Is there a site that compares tuner sensititvity?

Good question. mine $9 shipping. Some websites sell cheap plastic boxes for free but no free HD antenna. |

So the antenna can be used independent of the converter box with this product (for those who have satellite or cable and are simply attempting to pull in an OTA HD signal)? |

At the end of the day, you may just have to get a full size UHF antenna... if you want you could try to mount one in your attic first. But optimal is to mount it outside on a good size mast. |
