Quickie - DTV Converter Box On Sale at Wal-Mart

Ok, so these converter boxes have been around for about a year now, but they weren't getting any kind of sales push.  They sat on a shelf where they'd likely be missed by any and everyone.  This evening, on a stroll through the Milpitas, CA Wal-Mart, they were actually making a push for the boxes.  They had an entire endcap with easily 150 units ready to go.  They're selling for $49.87 and are emblazoned with a sticker reminding you that you can use your coupons to defray $40 of that cost. 

Now that we're under a year until analog TV goes the way of Brisco County, Jr. (check out the counter on the right, please) retailers are beginning to make a push to get everyone ready.

For more information on the box, check out the specs at Wal-Mart.com.
