LOL.

you are falling into this family dad with a midwestern existence role pretty well, except you do it so much better and hilariously. Srsly, they should make a sit-com on your life or something.

well, at least for the one we bought, you have to keep the television on channel 3 or 4 (whichever the switch on the back is set on) and then change channels using the converter box. as sad as it is it took me a good ten minutes before I realized that. might be what you're talking about.

We don't get any channels right now so we should probably do that...

Fill me up. Fill me up.

How do you get this $40 from the government?
Who do you buy it from?
And - you don't have to pay anything monthly, correct?

you go to www.dtv2009.gov and apply for one to be mailed to you.
doesn't cost anything but I know there's only a limited 'supply'
it took a few weeks to get ours in the mail

then you go to target, best buy, or whatever
and buy one of the three or four that are applicable (says so right on the box)

and yeah it's the same old free tv it always has been
