Well, I don't know if any one else on this list is interested, but we did 
get a new tv and a converter box for the coming hd.  We got a Magnavox 42 
lcd and it is easy to select the inputs or channels from the remote.

As far as the converter box, I bought a zenith at circuit city, using a 
coupon.  I'm impressed with the box, works well on rabbit ears, has s a p 
button on the remote, and has a signal button that gives a visual 
indication as well as a pulsing tone.  Down side is you'll need sighted 
help to do the initial install as a menu comes up and you have to tell it 
to search out hd channels.  It has audio and video out, antenna and to tv 
jacks.  If you turn the box off, it passes analog signals.  $60, so with 
the $40 coupon, cost me $20.
