Cable conversion makes reader mad

Charter is creating all kinds of problems by going all digital. I have five TVs in my house. My main TV has a DVR box, but my other four TVs will become useless unless I pay them $7 per month for each TV.

All they had to do was to build a converter that would convert digital to analog, and then I could put that converter to the wires that feed my other TVs.

When is someone going to get mad? Every one wants more of my money — governments, food stores, etc. But I do not get a cost-of-living increase, like most government agencies. —Fred Hammel, Kalispell
