01Spirit Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 DO NOT TELL ME TO GET CABLE OR SATELITTE. I will not pay for what I have been getting my entire life for free. The fact that I have to pay for this piece of crap converter box has me fired up as it is. Purchased a converter box at WALMART. Got it home and realized I needed to have the volume control on the converter box remote. Because now with digital signal, your old timer tv volume may not be enough. Go back to WalMart to return, they do not have the style with the volume control remote. They will give me back only the sales tax . They will not give me back my 40$ government coupon. To sum it all up they will take back the converter box, give me the sales tax I paid, keep the coupon and the box. What a racket. And to top it all off I cannot get another coupon.

01Spirit Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Thanks Kelly/ WHEW, I was having a little bit of converter box rage there. Now it takes 3 remote controls, one for the antenna, tv, converter box... this is just getting way out of hand when all I use to do was turn on the damn thing. Oh and the remote for the converter box I bought at Best Buy is already not working because they are CRAP// worth less than the 40.00 + tax + 40.00 coupon that I shelled out.........I am thinking there is going to be a whole lot of busted up tv's in the future.

It's a program to help fill landfills quicker, that way the government can start another program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
