I didn't even realize they had an expiration date! What idiot thought that was a good idea? Probably some moronic asshat rethug but anyway, the manager told me to hang onto my receipt and apply for replacement cards and when I got them, to bring them into the store with my converter box purchase receipt and she'd refund the difference back to me!! And she signed and dated the receipt! I applied for new cards last week in October 2008 and I'm still waiting for them, even though I got approved online. WTF is the hold up? BTW? The digital converter box sucks the royal route! I bought a new rabbit ear antenna AND a signal amplifier and I barely get 2 channels and have to reposition the antenna constantly to try to get CBS, ABC or NBC, etc.!! With the box turned off, using only the antenna, I get 18 channels!! WTF?! This sucks!!!
