I've had ny current TV for about 18 years and it has never given me any problems, but I need to get a new TV set that complies with the DTV conversion, and I don't have tons of money to spend on a huge HDTV set (though I'd like to get one at some point). However, Walmart, Target and Best Buy don't sell many tube TV sets anymore, and the LCD sets are out of my price range. I've been checking on Craigslist for some TV sets, but they're either analog like mine or weigh about 200 pounds, and the people selling them tell us to bring our own truck to carry them. What should I do? Does anyone know where to get some decent digital TV sets for a reasonable price?

BTW, the other thing that's bothering me about my search for a TV set is the fact that I've been channel surfing and couldn't find anything on TV to watch.

You don't need a new TV, only a converter box if you don't use cable or satellite.

Have you considered one of the converer boxes so you can salvage your T.V. and still use it?

I thought this only affected people getting their television through the antenna.
This is going to affect cable users too?

If you've got satellite or cable, you won't need anything because the signal you're getting is already digital....the converter box is for those Ted Kazinski types who are still using rabbit ear antennas for their TV viewing pleasure....
