[Scan-DC] TV Conveter Box Coupons

[Andrew Clegg]

The one that's available at RadioShack right now is decent, but it cost me
$20 over the $40 coupon. #15-150 ("DTX9950").

A model I bought at Walmart several months ago has a substantial flaw: no
analog pass-through. If you want to watch analog channels, you have to
physically disconnect it and route the antenna cable directly to the TV. A
real hassle, at least for the next 8 months.

I wonder which scanner of the future will be the first to demodulate audio
off of DTV channels so you can listen on the go? Bearcat BCDTV- 3816T? Or
maybe the RadioShack Pro-18352?

Cheers,
Andy

I got my coupons in March and promptly lost them. I didn't find them
again until June 16. They expired the following day, so I engaged in a
crash course in deciding which coupon-eligible converter box (CECB) to
buy. The Wikipedia article is great.

This article might help too, as it discusses the situation locally:
