Thanks for the input everyone....Yeah, thats what I thought it might be

and yes I'm using the free deal with the rabbit ears....I get enough
channels that way and prefer to keep it free....the local cable co (cox)
just wants too much.
Anyway...here's the website for the converter box...

So if I go with their deal it should only cost me like $20 after coupon
to keep my Toshiba up and running in the year 2009. But on the bright
side they claim you will get more channels with better quality picture.
Thanks!

Well, you'll probably get a better picture, but I'm not so sure about
more channels. According to the mapper on antennaweb.org I can get like
a dozen analog stations now with a suitable antenna, but only two are
DTV.

Don't forget that one DTV channel can have up to 4 subchannels.
Ignoring that gives you an inaccurate count.

Here, I can get 3 DTV channels, each of which has a subchannel, for a
total of 6.

It's similar at my mothers house where analog reception is greater
than DTV, at least according to current maps. I'll see once I get my
converter boxes and start testing.
