Dish Network Digital-to-Analog Converter Box Online
Filed in archive DTV Transition Act on July 3, 2008
dish network recently announced plans to sell DTV-to-analog box online for just $59.99. The converter box called the DTVPal, allows analog-only TV sets to continue to receive TV signals after the digital television transition act goes into effect February, 2009.
According to a recent post on Broadcasting Cable, the new Dish box would help viewers who might get the Dish satellite service but receive their TV-station signals over the air (Dish does not carry local TV stations in every market).
Analog television owners that subscribe to Dish Network but want to use their $40 digital television converter box coupon, can get a version of the cable box directly from EchoStar for about $39.99.
The Dish box currently available is the DTVPal, with the analog pass-through capability that will allow viewers to watch low-power stations and translators, which don't have to switch to digital in February 2009. The DTVPal can be an analog TV's friend for $59.99, or $19.99 with a coupon.
Do you have Dish cable service? Do you still have an analog television? Have you received your digital conversion box coupon yet? Let us know.

Why is it that everytime a company changes something, it costs us out the wazoo? If they upgrade, they should Giveus the up grade but then they would get it back by raising our rates so either way, we pay!!!

I hate the digital to analog converter box! It sucks. I have two rooms in my house with just regular TV (the others have satellite)that was working just fine and now with the converter box, it breaks in and out constantly (about every other secodn so I hear about every other word). So now I either have to spend money to get a new TV (which is still not guaranteed to give me better service) or live with it. We always get screwed by the government.

I forgot to add that the statement "television without interference" is the biggest lie. That's all I have now; interference!!
