[BC] TV Set/Converter

[R A Meuser]

If the converter boxes are up to the current standards, your friend will 
wish the he/she made the switch years ago. If buying a new TV is an 
option,Then LCD is the best choice. I  do not think that CRTs are even a 
viable option as they  are illegal in most of the world and I am not 
sure they are even manufactured anymore. The key is which version tuner 
is included.
