[RP TownTalk] Question on digital TV conversion

[Alice Ewen Walker]

If you have cable service, you should not need a converter box. The box is
for people who don't have cable and who are using older TV's that are not
digital-ready.
If you want to get a converter box, you can get a $40 off coupon usable at
any retailer by going to this website:
