I was making a Family Guy reference, Its reall simple to install a converter box, I've done so for my neighbors. Its not rocket science. You just simply take the box out of the packaging, Inspect it make shure its all in one piece. Set it on top of your TV. Take the antenna and connect it where it says "Antenna Inn". Then get a 6ft coaxial cable, connect one end to the back of the box where it says "Out to TV" and the other end to your TV.

if you opt to go A/V route, then Instead of using a Coaxial cable use, a set of AV wires or the yellow,white, Red wires for some of you non-tech savvy people. connect each color to their respective jack. Yellow is for video, and white is for sound, If your TV is a stereo TV, then you'll have the Red jack. In which case White is Left speaker, and Red is the Right one.

I've been to the Antenna Inn, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, they don't have internet, cable hookup, wi-fi, and as of midnite, Tele Vision reception.

We do. And you can buy it: Terrafugia - Transition®, the Roadable Light Sport Aircraft : Home

I've seen one prototype in austin.

Fact is, most people don't want it. They prefer to stay stuck in traffic. Seriously, do you want the local grandma flying these things next to you?

[quote=ShaneSA;9263758]If you watch that much TV, you HAD to have seen the notice.
maybe it will be a good thing and those people can get thier face out of the TV. Now I need something to get my face out of the computer!!!!!![/quote]

ShaneSA I'm going to blame you. It wasn't a few hours later that AT&T had a network issue and I was without internet service all yesterday afternoon and evening!!

I have an Aunt Enna. Really. Not Emma....Enna. Her name is Helenna. I suppose they didn't want to shorten it to Aunt Hell or Hellie...although I've seen her spit fire when she gets PO'd. Thank goodness she's usually on my side. She doesn't own an Inn though.

You could just say you're the maid. Besides, who has a land line anyway?

well, i do....but I don't have any tattoos, either, so I'm a freak in the hood.

This remind me of joke my friends use to say when I was a kid:

A guy wasn't very good with women and asked a friend to helped him out
his friend told him that he was gonna help him with a walkie-talkie when he was alone with her.
When the guy and his girlfriend were naked and ready to "start the party"
he calls his friend "What do I do now?"
his friend told him "Ok, all you have to do is put in her the thing that she doesn't have and the two of us have"
And he used the walkie-talkie

He should have said what <svg210> said.
