And when I went back today with my coupon, they still had 6 boxes ready to go. Plus they added the price sticker on the shelf. I suspect I know why they aren't selling many boxes (see below).
I offered cash for the difference between the coupon value and the DTVpal. The cashier didn't bother issuing me a gift card. But get this: after the sale, the cashier told me, "You know you can't activate this box before next year..."
I tried to correct that misinformation. I told him that our stations are currently simulcasting, and even have additional subchannels not available to analog tuners. This was greeted with the same nonsense from a
different sales associate. So I tried again. I told them both that I have
two other ATSC tuners that can receive and convert digital programming right now today, and how many channels they are getting. A
3rd sales associate then again tried to tell me the box wouldn't work until next year. It was like talking to a brick wall.
