I picked up a couple of Analog Converter Boxes today at Radio Shack - After using my coupons, it cost me $48.38. I have installed one on the TV in the living room with splitters to two spare bedrooms - Comes in clear as a bell. The one in Maryann's room, I will hook up tomorrow, but there should not be a problem, at least I don't think there will be. The are both Analog Pass-Through DTV Converter Boxes and the name on the box is DigitalStream.
I get channels, 3-1, 3-2, 5-1, 5-2, 22-1, 22-2 (Test Pattern), 33-1, 33-2, 33-3, 33-4, 44-1, 44-2 - Absolutely unbelievable - I did not get Channel 5 or Channel 44 before. All channels are clear as a bell.
In order to receive Analog Channels, all I have to do is press AD on the remote. Radio Shack had two models, and the salesman told me, even though they both costs the same, the one I have is much simpler to use.
So far, very happy with it, even has a program guide.

I think our government got it right when they mandated this conversion to digital conversion! It is definitely an improvement over the old analog signal.

If I had known you got this kind of reception, I would have gotten one of those boxes just as soon as Channel 5 went digital - We have had an ongoing battle with WPTZ way back when we got our big 10 foot satellite dish - They insisted we could get channel 5, but would never come up to check me out. My sister just up the road gets it find, but not me.
