RW> No, those are the digital to analog converters to view over the air HDTV

My TV is a digital HD.
 
RW> The HD receivers themselves only cost $59, but the government want's you

DirecTV wants $99 for the HD receiver.
 
RW> For $20, Tom can still watch what he can get without going to cable.
 
He can, but I wouldn't go back to cable.
