Damn straight! And I plan on NEVER retiring....
Want to know the really ironic thing about this, if you know enough about electronics you can upgrade your reciever in your TV without the fancy boxes ... LOL ... I should volunteer to do it for free and get a bunch of others to offer the same across the country! Really screw with the government.
I was originally talkin' about an older person I know, who wouldn't know the first thing about that. In fact, hubby has trouble operating the remote, never mind upgrading anything if he was left alone!
That's my point! If more people like me who knew how to do it for about 5 bucks would just volunteer, it could have saved the country a fortune and everyone would be able to receive the new signal. If your TV is built in another country though and no more than 10 years old, likely you can already get the signal, just switch the settings to cable but use your rabbit ears, that's how mine works. It works that way because most of the other countries have been on digital signals for a long time. But if you have a local techie with a heart, ask them to show you or just swap out the signal receiver for a couple of bucks instead of 40 to 100 bucks.
