Wal Mart Now Carrying Digital TV Converters.

Well, don't know how far away you consider your area, but best buy in Sanford has them. I saw them 3 days ago.

That is probably over the 50 mile range for their zip code search. I've checked online, and with local stores and found nothing. There is just a trickle so far and not all stores get them, or have them long enough to find them so far. A lot of people are complaining, because they were supposed to be readily available by now.

Iff topic, but I was in Walmart one day, and I usually try to avoid the place. As I was walking in I noticed how many TV cameras they had on the top of the building. Probably at least 20. I also noticed all the cameras inside. Probably add another 100. I think Wal-Mart has more cameras than Vegas casinos !

I doubt that. I knew an EE who designed the first TV surveillance system for a Vegas casino. They spent almost a year installing that system. He died a few years ago, so i can't get an exact number, but there was a decent sized room full of racks of monitors, and people to watch them all.

Do you think every one of those cameras at that Wal-Mart are real? The ones in casinos are. Not only do they track their customers, but their employees. There isn't one spot inside a casino where they can't see what you are doing.

I'll bet someone might have something to say about cameras in the restrooms. :)

It's their restroom. As far as I know they have the right to put a camera there.

In the US anyway, I believe there's a law forbidding any sort of monitoring device in a restroom, private or not.

place.

inside.

How do you know that there are no cameras in the restrooms? There are pinhole cameras that can peek between a pipe and the trim ring. If anyone is gambling away from their profit areas they will put a stop to it.

Only takes one person who discovers those cameras to file a lawsuit and stir up some major problems for any casino who tried it. The loss of business would far outweigh anything they could gain by it.

Still I've always wondered how anyone can stand to be in a casino in the first place, I hate the feeling of eyes on my every move, guilty until proven innocent. There's a lot of more fun ways to throw away money.

I saw them in my local Wally World, and I live in the hinterlands of rural MO!

And you think that means they are in stock in every store?

I pay over $50.00 every month for my DirecTV subscription.I dont need any DTV converters. cuhulin

Nope. Just saying there out here in "Nowheresville", at MY local store! It ain't the end of the world, but you can see it from here.

One idiot I used to work with made fun of he small town I was born in, every chance he got. He was born in Cincinnati, and though anyone born in a small town was stupid. One day he asked, "How far back in them woods did y'all come from"? I smiled and told him, "It was so far back in the woods that they had to pipe in sunshine.", and walked away. Three days later he runs up to me with a weird look on his face and said "What do you mean, pipe in sunlight?". I smiled and said, If it took three days for that to sink in, it proves that you're the idiot!
