I assume that the TV on our Express 330 will have to have a converter box when the TV signal switches from analog to digital next year. Has anyone talked to Grady White about this issue?

Frank, http://www.campingworld.com/browse/skus/index.cfm?skunum=35000 has been available for a while, and there will be many offerings in the coming months, with priced dropping rapidly. Samsung has this one in the works; may even be on the market now: http://www.tvpredictions.com/samsung072307.htm.

I bought one in Best Buy last summer, for $79, and it works so well that I can get many more crystal clear, TV channels than I did before, and lots of them are broadcast in HD over the air. I expect these things to sell for under $50 by mid or end of summer.

I dont know about everyone else,but I dont get any channels except for 1 local that isnt even worth mentioning.

Anyone else on Long Island get any of the local networks without another antenna? I was told by the dealer there is an antenna in the boat but I never saw it.
