Let's see I can stock the converter and sell you one for $50 and have the coupon hassle -
OR Let me think this through - Aaah I could not stock them and sell you a new TV!
Wonder what I should do???
I'm the suspicious type. And don't get me started on how well this is orchestrated by the beltway. Wasn't the conversion suppose to be completed by 2005?
Radio Shack will mail you one( or more) free in less than a week.. Just the 59.00 charge less of course the coupon 40.00 so net 19.99

You are correct no pass through but for ones without ...
I just walked into a radio shack in Milwaukie Oregon Wednesday 4/16 the clerk/ Manager said he was out but could have one sent to me in less than a week ... I watched him place the order and got a Fedex tracking # in my hand Soooo.... I guess my story is a rarity???? (or going INTO the store and talking to someone may make a difference)!!!. They all.... WalMart Best Buy etc. added that they receive stock on Thur or Fri and run out quickly and told me to come back Thur and Fri to check so that may be a tip. As stated I have found NO models with Pass through ... so use the work around, or wait.

the converter boxes are piled up ceiling high at Wal-Mart. and big hassle on the coupons, you hand them to the clerk along with your credit card.
just remember, even paranoids have real enemies.

I am not haveing a problem finding a converter box it is finding one with pass thru that is a problem. Walmart, Best buy and all the big box stores have plenty without pass thru.
