[Scan-DC] Slightly Off Topic - DTV Converters

[Doug Kitchener]

I think we decided that the Best Buy and Circuit City (R.I.P!) ones were better than the Walmart one (_I_ did, for sure!).  Suspect that most of them now have pass-through, but that will be moot in a couple of days - gee, T-day is what, Wednesday?).  Circuit City had the Zenith one - The Walmart one is Magnavox and I think the Best Buy one is Insignia.

I don't recall any scanner stuff...

Hope this helps.

When is the cutover, the 17th or the 19th?

"Y'ever hear of a Dooooomsday Machine, Bones?"  Y2K all over again!

Kirk out.
