Yeah. Over here.

As I understand it, my roof top antenna will probably still work, but the number of channels I currently get (including a bunch of fuzzy ones) will drop significantly. With digital, you either get the channel, or you don't. If the signal is weak, you don't get it. I'll probably drop from 12 or so channels down to 5. We'll see.

I'm also not too thrilled with the selection and price of HDTVs now. You should be able to get a name brand mid sized TV for around $400 in my mind. The prices aren't there yet.
