Comments on: TV woes and reading http://milwaukeerising.net/wordpress/2008/11/20/tv-woes-and-reading/ From Milwaukee's West Side Thu, 17 May 2012 09:09:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: dadofone http://milwaukeerising.net/wordpress/2008/11/20/tv-woes-and-reading/comment-page-1/#comment-719 dadofone Mon, 01 Dec 2008 15:28:38 +0000 http://milwaukeerising.net/wordpress/?p=275#comment-719 capper Says: November 20th, 2008 at 8:29 pm “Maybe the TV converter box is a plot by the government to get us all to sign up for cable or satellite?” Not the government exactly, but the cable and satellite providers for certain and yes through the government via lobbying efforts. John Foust Says: November 20th, 2008 at 11:27 pm "I think there will be a lot of rural off-air TV watchers who will be very surprised when their TVs stop working." Funniest thing that the only converter boxes in a 90 mile radius from where I live were not the $50 boxes, but the $80 and up boxes. Should not these dealers, be jailed for price gouging. capper Says:

Or to buy overpriced HDTVs. I received the paper daily, and I only became aware of it because someone forwarded the email to me. That is why I had posted it, because I figure many people wouldn't be aware. At least my 5.7 readers were. “Maybe the TV converter box is a plot by the government to get us all to sign up for cable or satellite?”
