I just read in the local paper that Willminton, North Carolina has volunteered to be a "test" for the conversion to digital. I think the date was September 8. That TV area is going to shut off their analog transmissions, and do all digital, on September 8 (I think, I read the paper at work...). So, if you are travelling in that area on September 8 and have an analog TV, either you need to stay at a park with cable, or you better have a box! JJ
