Don't get me started on DVR's. Tivo, and the like.

I know that SOMEDAY down the road, when NOBODY makes vcrs anymore, I will have to learn how to do the DVR thing. God only knows what Alan will do when he has to get a DVR box on HIS LIVING ROOM TV.

Oh, I know that if you have cable or directv, then when the switch is made in February, that we don't need to do anything.

But I have several tv's in my house, and the only one that DOES NOT HAVE CABLE SERVICE, is the little one in my bedroom.

That's why I went into Radio Shack and asked the question about the rabbit ears antenna. The little tv in the computer room has a rabbit ears and I get no reception whatsoever.

The guy said 'that's exactly what you'll get in February if you hook up the converter box. YOU NEED A ROOFTOP ANTENNA.

I am not GETTING A ROOFTOP ANTENNA.

I'll just go and tape on my other tvs.

So from what I read, Alan and I, if we ever inherit a gazillion dollars, can go into PC Richards, buy a lovely big HD television and hook it up to my Directv and I should still get the same picture I get now.

Right??

thanks,

Mel
