Not really.  All you should need is a proper decoder for the signal and
digital->analog filter to use a regular TV or computer monitor.  That
should work although there will be two black bars across the top and bottom
of the screen.  Other then that it works good.

I see no point in the extra expense since it is the same crap as regular
TV, although with digital it makes it possible to record to DVDs, but then
again one has to wonder why anyone would want to do that given all the
crap, hassel and expense.  Just to block out commercials?  These days those
can be far more entertaining then the program they are sponsoring!!!  Heh,
heh.

Life is good,
Maurice
