[BC] TV Set/Converter

[Ronald Johnson]

A friend with limited fiscal resources and constrained to a "rabbit ears"
antenna. The lease prohibits an external antenna, or any wall atachments.
How well would a converter box work and what will it cost verses purchase of
a new TV. Cable TV is expensive, but not totally excluded, if its the sole
option.

As an option, I've been asked to recommend a smaller HDTV full resolution
screen (about 20-30 inches.) Any purchase must be cost effective, reliable,
and not subject to next generation obsolescence.

Next question? What type of display offers a long term , non shifting
display? Plasma, LCD, LED'S or the reliable CRT? Internet searches prove
confusing. Consumer periodicals aren't much better.
