I received my 2 vouchers for the DTV-analog converters today,and went to
Wal-Mart and bought one. After using the voucher,it cost me $13 including

Overall,I'm satisfied;I lost Ch.2(NBC),but gained other channels I could
not receive,and got a excellent picture on all channels that have
sufficient signal strength.I'm going to try to find a better amplified
indoor antenna and see if that doesn't get me Ch.2 back.
Setup of the converter was not difficult.It's interesting that there are
sub-channels for many of the stations,like 24.1,.2,.3,etc.,with different
programming.
One thing is that the remote control for the converter is kinda funky;the
channel up/down buttons are very small and the large L/R/up/down 'cursor'
buttons only work for setup menus. It's possible to use a universal remote
with this model.(Magnavox TB100MW9)
My converter is not one that passes thru analog TV signals.
I'm also going to shop around for one of the converters that DO pass thru
the analog TV signals.(the list supplied has asterisks for those models)

Does anyone have any suggestions for a small DTV antenna suitable for
apartment use,perhaps one that can be put outside on the balcony without
attracting undue notice?

Where do you live?? In the Chicago area no one has the convertors yet
as far as I can find out.
