1. Are you saying we should instead buy a much more expensive HDTV to
protect our privacy?

2. Do you sell HDTVs?

3. Are you in constant contact with the Sputnik Forces, perhaps not
willingly?

my point was that these converters and maybe just plain ol digital

tv or converter. kind like th big brother can watch you if your
suspected of something or if some ass gives an anonomous tip to police.
