I have digital cable, so not a huge deal on my front (except for the TV card in my computer; I'm not sure it will pick up the digital signal without the box or not). However, I think it is garbage that they are requiring everyone to convert over if they want to get signals. You are essentially forcing everyone to spend money upgrading their TVs just so they can watch standard free stations. In addition, digital cable boxes are more expensive than regular boxes, so you are forcing those who do not buy the TVs to get cable or satellite. It just seems rather ridiculous to me (unnecessary, really).
