Came home today and Dad was super excited. He requested two voucher coupon things from our lovely government to help purchase the new digital converter boxes (DCB’s) and they arrived today. I still am not sure why we need them as we have the super deluxe package from Cox Communications, but none the less, Dad is happy. I think it is more out of principle that he beat the deadline and I am sure we will end up purchasing two of them just because we can. He was mentioning some sort of emergency setup so when the power goes out we can connect the DCB to his portable TV and then run that off of a battery operated power supply. This, I will have to take a picture of…perhaps we can put it all nicely in some kind of backpack system.
