Juliemom has apparently "forgotten" what real weather is. Here is an Rnews link to our weather yesterday.
Yes, the Monkees is the correct spelling, but I'm sure it makes Wendymom itchy. You know what I saw on TV....The Banana Splits!! Remember that show? " one banana, two banana, three banana, four, over hill and highway the banana buggies go" What worries me is how all TV is going to be switched to digital signals next year, 2009. You will need a converter to catch the signal or a NEW TV. Well hardy har har har: THAT ain't happening. Let's count the TV's in my house, shall we?
1. living room
2. kitchen (essential for hockey games/weather updates/SpongeBob)
3. girls bedroom downstairs
4. The Boy Cave (essential for video game madness, Family Guy and escaping the estrogen in this house)
5. MY bedroom (essential for falling asleep, Alton Brown, and the occasional video; children or, ahem adult)
6. there is also a TV in the garage; main use? sports at BBQ's
SIX. six TV's muwha haha And these converter boxes run about $50. Limited math tells me the grand total is $300. Will I need one for each TV? Will there be a whole house converter I can stick in the basement? Will my digital cable box convert it for me? Am I again relegated to a few channels on a fuzzy picture? Or I can enjoy my Sex and the City reruns, LOST, Food Network, and daily Noggin for the wee one? I hate technology!

Thank you for the link! Glad I was smacked back into what REAL weather is like! :0)
Hope you're staying toasty running around the house counting TVs.
Mary,
You have a couple options to help bring your house into the 21st century. If you have satellite tv or a set top receiver from a cable provider, you don't need to both with this stuff as far as I know.
Check this site . They are also giving out vouchers, but probably not for the army of tv's that you have.
Now your option(s) if you still need converters:
1. Sell all the tv's and buy one digital tv.
Cousin Chris, are you saying I'm not 21st century??
