By the time this is a problem converter boxes will be dirt cheap anyway. Remember, they won't have to output anything other than 480i.

When my family moved from Sacramento to Fresno in 1966, our 1959 model RCA 21" black and white table model was totally useless. The only signal source was ota in both cities but the set only had a vhf tuner and the Fresno stations were all uhf. My dad went out and bought a converter box for $29. If one remembers that a fully equipped family car cost only $3k and a 3 bedroom home 15k, that $29 represented a much larger cost taking inflation into account than the converter boxes that will be necessary for the very few that are still dependent on antennas for signals.

I prefer not to push the subwoofers until they\'re properly run in.
