Those Digital TV converter boxes suck. I got one last night because the TV in my room still uses antenna.

It's like, okay, every channel is crystal clear. That's cool. There are channels I can now watch that I could not watch before because the picture was too fuzzy. Like, now, I guess I could watch Saturday Morning Cartoons on KidsWB or whatever if I the mood struck me.  

But... if you've ever had DirecTV or something, you know that when there's a bad storm, how the signal will sometimes break up? The sound will start cutting out, you'll get nasty artifacts all over the screen, etc.? On channels that don't come through so well on this Digital Converter Box, that's what you get.

What sucks is that there are some channels on analog that while a little snowy are still watchable - but they are rendered totally unviewable through Digital. Either they show up as NO SIGNAL or they break up so much that you can't even tell what's going on. The tiniest bit of interference seems to completely destroy a channel, and because of the way it breaks up, it's hard to tell when moving an antenna if it's getting better or getting worse.

Also weird: Channels now have Sub Channels, so there's like, Channel 9, and then Channel 9-2. Channel 9 is our local NBC Affiliate, but Channel 9-2 is 24/7 news and weather from the Channel 9 news team.

I don't know if I like this new Digital TV thing.

Also, Cartoon Network, TBS, and Comedy Central are have shows with an eastern time schedule, so since I live in Cali, I get everything from those channels 3 hours later. Blows.

I would like to recommend that you fill out the Sonic Eraser page on Giant Bomb with your crazy and all-knowing trivia sections. It's got to be one of the worst-est 90's games evar!

So worstest that I've never bothered to play it. :P
