TV/Electronics Shopping
Anyone have any suggestions for a 'local' electronics store where I can *purchase* a new tv? As my economic stimulus $ was depositing into my bank account, my television died. Conspiracy theory, perhaps?
Anyways, I have a car to get around if need be. I'm curious what's out there besides the big chains. Any info or personal experiences with these would be appreciated.
Thanks!
*I clarified this to show that I'm hoping to purchase a TV, and curious what non-chain options are around

Re: maybe not?
However, if you do use an antenna there's some extra channels you get ( PBS World, etc), reception is perfect, there's no "ghosts" from signal reflecting off buildings, and you might just forget about cable.
Its true you need a strong signal for DTV to work, and tuners vary in sensitivity. Personally I had no problems with an indoor antenna. Also the digital signals here are all UHF and that penetrates better in urban areas; I couldn't receive the lower channels with an analog TV.
