Have any of you had success installing these boxes? I bought the Zenith box, but my RCA Antenna doesn't fit it. Any and all suggestions are welcomed. TIA!

PD Meggy-you'll need the antenna to plug into the converter box to get the signal. I'll prolly need to buy a new antenna. For now, I'm still trying to find a converter for my antenna. :-/

Make sure you get the $40 coupon.

PD Meggy, I need the antenna b/c I don't have cable. If you have cable, you don't need the TV converter box.

I don't watch a lot of tv, so its a decision I made. Once I convert my antenna, the transition should be smooth. :keithpunky

I've been paying the cable company. I need my HBO and all the other random channels you don't get for free.
