I saw a thing on the news where they BB guy came right on the screen and said that they were selling new HDTV's
and the converter box to hook it up with. As far as I know in looking at a lot of HDTV ads, none of them are just a monitor w/o a tuner anymore like when HDTV's first came out to cut down costs of production.
Scamming the government out of $40 and the consumer out of another $10 ($50-$40 coupon) for a converter that is not even neccesary should be a crime and this guy just came right out and said it. The news reporter didn't even clue in to it.
