Default Where can I find a converter for the same price as the $40 coupon?

I don't care about options or anything else other than getting something cheap AS LONG AS IT WORKS. Let me no please.

Try the internet. You won't find a retailer selling them for just the coupon, I don't think, but you might find some on the internet. Search!

Like my mom's pet bird would say.

CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP

Nothing good is cheap and nothing cheap is good.

You have to be willing to spend some money in order to get something that works! There is a difference in quality between a box sold in a grocery store and one sold in a stereo shop.

About the best one I have found is the Channel Master CM 7000!

Solid Signal has the best price.

try solid signal at Dish Network ATSC TR-40CRA Coupon Eligible Digital Converter Box W/ Analog Pass-Through (CECB) | TR-40 CRA [Echostar]
I got my TR 40 there (it works with my TV even tho I don't have Dish, so don't worry about that). and it cost me $40.01 minus $40.00 coupon. That would be 1 cent. Shipping is $9.95

There was another one (I think the link is in another post) where you can get it free and shipping is free, but I saw the TR 40 reviews and it had a lot of features that were desirable and good reviews.

I know NOTHING about this stuff and couldn't even install my own boxes because I have a splitter box between the TVs and antenna, so please don't ask me any questions. Just sharing what I did. Hope you find a cheap and good box.

I saw that today! It's like their #3 seller in their electronics section. Going like hotcakes. Not a bad converter at all either.

The only real complaint I've had with it so far is that it's not RF-quiet when "powered down"--I have to unplug it when not in use.
