Response to that question was no, they simply were not providing them anymore. When I then asked them how I was going to find and OTA HDTV box to "feed" the HDTV I had bought from them a year earlier he said (these words exactly) "Go to Best Buy, they might have one". And how about a different note... At lunch time I dropped into Radio Shack for a microphone, and asked them if they had any STB's. Yes! For a mere $89.98 (dare I say lowest price I ever paid at list for such an apparatus) I now have a new box to test. Feast or Famine?
