Hi.

The only thing I hate about the whole thing is that when they do pull the 
plug on analog, I have to rescan all over again, which means getting 
someone with vision over here to run through the menus again.  I decided 
not to convert the remainder of my television sets until after the 
changeover is complete so I will only have to run through the setup 
once.  Sure wish someone could have thought to make those boxes 
accessible--then I wouldn't care.

73, de Lou K2LKK
