DTV Conversion complete

Friends:
As you may know,even though i am still on the internet and can still use the cable to watch tv,i chose to experiment with digital tv.around after the analog shutdown,i decided to apply for two coupons to get two converter boxes.the first one i got came from a site called freetvsignal.com based in Florida.It took me only about three days to get it,but had no antenna to use so i constructed a makeshift one and connected it to the box,and only recieved WBIR DT 10.1 and WX on 10.2 from Knoxville.needless to say,after i failed to find any other channels,i decided to use the other coupon to buy a Sunkey DTV converter box,combined with a Mygica A20 indoor antenna.
after i got it in the mail i found box damage to the bottom,and the antenna came without original packaging.This was from meritline.com in California.now,as of this posting,i got a CM 3000 outdoor antenna by Channel Master to use when i get a roll of coax cable.I can still watch WATE,WBIR WBXX,as well as The ION affiliates on 4 channels! I hope someone in my family is nice enough to find 25 ft coax for the antenna.Note that sometimes i can get WVLT 8.1 and 2 which is MY VLT2 as indicated on screen. next blog will be about another station coming from Tennessee as well as Tests from Dominican Republic.Until then,Take Care
