But I have no idea what it is. I received my credit cards for two of the converter boxes and they are good for $40 on each box. Now I just have to find a place to buy them. Wally has given me some advice about it and I did check at the PX, but they are all out of them so I'll have to go to Stuff-Mart or one of the other listed retail outlets, but Wally says all converter boxes are not created equal. The guy at the PX says I may not even need them! I know the little TV in my kitchen doesn't because it says HDTV right on the front and it's new. We have two other sets (I know, we are so worldly!) . . . we don't get the premium channels or anything, but I would miss my Fox news and C-Span and History channel.
It's like Y2K all over again, except different :)

The Cast
June Cleaver
I am a SAHM who is married to my very own Sam Damon. I love to read, run, and walk my two large dogs; I have an addiction to chocolate, coffee too.
The Beaver
My 16 year old son. Until two years I home schooled "The Beaver" but he attended a private Christian school so that he can play baseball . . .this year he jumped into the mainstream public school arena.
Ward Cleaver
My husband of over 33 years, the love and laughter of my life; a Colonel in the U.S. Army.
Betty Anderson
My daughter who inspires me in many ways, among them to do things I wouldn't otherwise (like blog) and who still calls me "just to talk." Her character on this blog is borrowed from a neighboring show from TV Land , Father Knows Best, because the Cleaver household only had boys, what were they thinking?!
Wally
My eldest son who is pursuing his PhD in EE and the most thoughtful, kindest, hardest working young man I know. He is especially kind to his technologically impaired parents (and all other relatives as well).

I believe the converter box thing actually allows you to get digital signals instead of analog, rather than HDTV. The latter requires an HDTV and HDTV programming. You don't need the converter box if you have cable; just if you use an antenna to get TV.
So it's just the "D" and since I get cable I don't have to worry about this.
