So some people were waiting for boxes that are coming but behind schedule....
I have a nice HDTV in the living room and I put up an OTA antenna on the roof and the HD digital picture is awesome... but my bedroom has an older SD and ReplayTV unit--- this TV and unit will become obsolete as of Feb 17th and so needs a box to remain useful--- I really don't feel the pressure to run out and by a new TV or Tivo etc right now, so I am using my coupons early because they are expiring--- and gambling on the box.

We purchased a couple of converter boxes a couple of months ago. Did not want to be an early adopter and wanted a box that did analog pass through. That makes life easier pretransition and we have a couple of low power analog stations so will not be completely digital come Feb.
