In case you missed it.

A bill has just passed the US House of Representatives, which will require TV stations to broadcast in digital only beginning in February 2009. Which means that if you have an old style TV it will not receive anything over the air after that date. Congress is planning on offering vouchers to help purchase converters to keep our old sets running. But apparently the converters won't be free.

I have no idea where this is going to leave Canadians.

Not directly. Cable companies do not run on the same rules as the broadcast networks and stations.

The cable company will surely take care of any converters you'd need as they already do for some customers in some areas.

So that is what that big black box didl. Always wondered about it.

Yes, I misread your original reply. You already have a converter!
