Just bringing this up because the converters have been discussed here
before. I'd ordered two coupons when they first came out. Not realizing
that they would expire after 90 days, I held onto them figuring there
would be a better selection closer to the cutoff time. When I tried to
reapply; it wouldn't let me.

So for anyone interested, the coupon website is now accepting requests
for coupons to replace *unused* coupons that have expired. You still
just get a total of two.

I applied on 5/3, they were mailed on 5/9 and I got them about 2-3 days
later.

Since you brought it up...

my suspicion is that converter boxes will die off and become unavailable
in a couple years or so, since the pool of TV's out there requiring same
is only going to grow smaller over time. I currently have one Zenith
box and one Channel Master box and am reasonably happy with them both,
although I do prefer the guide of the Channel Master, as well as the
S-Video output.

Question is this, in the last six months or so, are there any new
developments in converter boxes that would motivate one to replace
either one of the ones that I have (while the "good ones" are still
available,) or are they still about as good as they are going to get?
