Of course they will range in price too. | Just a heads up. When you get the certificate, it expires in 90 days and can't be replaced and you can only get 2 per household, so don't order it till you are ready to buy. They have been on sale for months now, but every store usually only has one brand, and I haven't been able to find a brand yet that will let you use a VCR with it properly.
Whoever came up with this digital law is insane. Come February, there are going to be a lot of angry people who won't be able to record their TV shows anymore, use portable TVs, and I think some remote controls aren't going to work either. It's ridiculous to force people to pay for all new equipment. Even if you get the converter boxes with the coupons, you are still paying at least $20 and have to choose which of your 2 TVs will work with them.  |
