I plan to keep my tube TVs and connect them to a digital converter box when it becomes necessary. I am already running them off of a VCR for all-channel remote tuning. I am thinking of selling off some of my handheld sets and five inch portables as they will be impractical to use if they have to be tethered to a converter (i.e. no longer truly portable). Aside from maintaining a newer set in the living room to keep the wife and kids happy, it's old tube sets (preferably metal cased Zeniths) for me.

I do plan to buy a digital handheld set when they become available. I like to have a battery powered portable.

Progress was alright once but it went on too long. - unknown.
