I used my vouchers!

Well, after keeping an eye out at Wal-Mart for the past few weeks - I found a freshly stocked stack of the RCA digital converters. Used both of my vouchers. Simple box - but WOW! AWESOME quality picture! Now I can watch RTN from my local source (in addition to FTA) - they have some shows that are not on the Ku band RTN stations.

Iafirebuff,

Were they $49 or has Walmart lowered the price to match the voucher? My vouchers expire in May and need to pick some up.

How do you like the interface?

They are $49.xx - as for the interface it is real simple and easy. Has info and a guide - not a long guide but it does have a guide

Why did you purchase the RCA vs. other brands? I have a couple of vouchers as well and need to get a unit but haven't decided on one, since the Echostar unit won't be out anytime soon...

Where did you get the vouchers from? Is the gov't sending those out?

 

[iafirebuff]

You sign up for the vouchers with the FCC. They will give you 2 - $40 vouchers - look like a credit card. The Wal-Mart RCA's I liked becuase they have buttons on the receiver in addition to the remote. And, that is all my Wal-Mart had

Actually it is the Department of Commerce not the FCC. Here is a link.

Actually the link I used was the FCC:

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Home Page and then there is a section to the right that takes you to where you need to go. As well as walmart.com, etc. many places to go to find the link.

Thanks for sharing the links

true enough but if you follow the links it takes you to a Dept of Commerce site. Somehow they have jurisdiction. Not sure why.
