https://www.dtv2009.gov/VendorSearch.aspx is supposed to show you any
retailer who has them in stock. Best Buy and Radio Shack also claim to
have them in some stores, but none in my area. You can search up to 50
miles from your zip code or city. The fact that a retailer has them in
the first couple stores doesn't mean anything, if they aren't at your
local store.

Well, don't know how far away you consider your area, but best buy in
Sanford has them. I saw them 3 days ago.

That is probably over the 50 mile range for their zip code search.
I've checked online, and with local stores and found nothing. There is
just a trickle so far and not all stores get them, or have them long
enough to find them so far. A lot of people are complaining, because
they were supposed to be readily available by now.

Iff topic, but I was in Walmart one day, and I usually try to avoid the place.
As I was walking in I noticed how many TV cameras they had on the top
of the building. Probably at least 20. I also noticed all the cameras inside.
Probably add another 100. I think Wal-Mart has more cameras than
Vegas casinos !

I doubt that. I knew an EE who designed the first TV surveillance
system for a Vegas casino. They spent almost a year installing that
system. He died a few years ago, so i can't get an exact number, but
there was a decent sized room full of racks of monitors, and people to
watch them all.

Do you think every one of those cameras at that Wal-Mart are real?
The ones in casinos are. Not only do they track their customers, but
their employees. There isn't one spot inside a casino where they can't
see what you are doing.

I'll bet someone might have something to say about cameras in the
restrooms. :)

It's their restroom. As far as I know they have the right to put a
camera there.

In the US anyway, I believe there's a law forbidding any sort of monitoring
device in a restroom, private or not.

How do you know that there are no cameras in the restrooms? There
are pinhole cameras that can peek between a pipe and the trim ring. If
anyone is gambling away from their profit areas they will put a stop to
it.

Only takes one person who discovers those cameras to file a lawsuit and stir
up some major problems for any casino who tried it. The loss of business
would far outweigh anything they could gain by it.

Still I've always wondered how anyone can stand to be in a casino in the
first place, I hate the feeling of eyes on my every move, guilty until
proven innocent. There's a lot of more fun ways to throw away money.

I saw them in my local Wally World, and I live in the hinterlands of
rural MO!

Nope. Just saying there out here in "Nowheresville", at MY local store!
It ain't the end of the world, but you can see it from here.

One idiot I used to work with made fun of he small town I was born
in, every chance he got. He was born in Cincinnati, and though anyone
born in a small town was stupid. One day he asked, "How far back in
them woods did y'all come from"? I smiled and told him, "It was so far
back in the woods that they had to pipe in sunshine.", and walked away.
Three days later he runs up to me with a weird look on his face and said
"What do you mean, pipe in sunlight?". I smiled and said, If it took
three days for that to sink in, it proves that you're the idiot!
