Here's Another website that will accept the coupon.http://www.savinglots.com/lotprod.asp?item=TB100HH9&gclid;=CPnFoNyVu5ICFQP4lgodfwnHbQI do have a question for someone what is the difference between the two different converter boxes. This is the first time that I have heard of the analog pass through converter and don't know understand what that means.

No. Better hold off a while on that coupon.http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_105-9906407-1.html

Here's another site that accepts coupons. The best converter, overall, seems to be the Philco TB100HH9. This site has the best price I've found, plus around $10 for shipping.http://www.summitsource.com/product_info.php?ref=57&products;_id=7037&affiliate;_banner_id=1

The coupons expire 90 days after they have been mailed. I just requested mine, assuming Amazon would be ready to accept them. If they won't take them until Jan. 2009, mine will have expired months before. Amazon is dropping the ball on this one.

This will explain the analog pass through:http://www.ezdigitaltv.com/Analog_Pass-Through.html

"We have several low-powered local TV stations that do not have to convert to digital next year."I've checked the schedule for the PBS station in my area, and it appears that most of the time the program that is broadcast on the analog transmitter is _not_ duplicated on a digital channel. So even though they have both analog and digital transmitters, you will likely miss a program you want to watch if you don't have access to the analog signal.Therefore that's another reason that analog pass-through is important.

As of 3/18/2008 Amazon's customer service reps say they won't be honoring the coupons until January of 2009. Fairly typical of Amazon.com

No, it's a scam and a waste of money. You need an actual converter box for that. Don't waste your money on this.

Guys I placed order last night for this TV+DVD+Glasses combo deal $1290. I got 3y warranty and I pay NY sales tax so total is close to $1600. Wish I had a %20 coupon... Still overall a good deal and I can always return it with Amazon excellent service. Will post review in few days. If you have coupons pls send I will try to apply it.

Top Hat, I'm having the same experience you did. My HDTV was supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Even tho the Amazon product page says the item will be delivered via White Glove, the trucking company said it will not. I've spent the past 90 minutes on the phone, being passed from Adorama (the seller) to Amazon to the trucking company back to Adorama back to Amazon back to the trucking company. It turns out that the product page is misleading. It's only when you buy your TV from Amazon.com that you can get the WG service. BUT, here's the tricky part. You can't just add the item to your cart and go through checkout. You have to click on the list that says "18 New and Used," or whatever the number is. Then you have to SELECT amazon.com as the seller. Isn't it nice that this isn't mentioned ANYWHERE on the product page? I couldn't find anything in the Help section, either. So, I've cancelled my order with Adorama so I can place the order directly from Amazon.com, thus making sure I get the White Glove service. What a PIA!!!

I contacted Amazon Customer Service as well, and they insisted that I needed to contact TiVo. But since this is in regards to the rebate form THEY have on their site I refused to. After going several rounds with them and getting the same form letter response about the issue being TiVo's problem I said the heck with Amazon. Even after that they changed the wording on the item page but it was still linking to the wrong rebate form. But since I had found the correct rebate form on the TiVo site, I purchased the unit. I guess Amazon was not being shady... just stupid. And their "Customer Service" department can go lick themselves.

I certainly agree with your views--I'll probably press the "Add to Cart" button with Amazon too :-). Have fun with your new TV!

I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out. I had decided to wait a few more days but went to look at it again one more time on the website just after midnight pacific time and noticed the price had just jumped from 1999 to 2464. Luckily the other merchants that sell through amazon had not raised their prices yet and i was still able to get it for 1999. Woke up the next morning and almost cancelled my order thinking amazon lowered the price again due to the misleading email that i received about 6 in the morning. Good thing i stayed up late that night. I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out.

I havent called them yet but I am thinking about it. I am sure they will say that since it's a "Gold Box" price that they can't refund my money. I could however probably buy it now and then return the other t.v. when I get it, but that would be a major PIMA!! (pain in my ass). .LOLPlus I can't even find a customer service phone number on this site!

Jeff, on the week of 12/16/07 Bestbuy had this HD advantage promotion program. This unit was on sale for $2000. Here are the promotion: $300 off if you signed up with 2 years contract with DirecTV$100 rebate gift certificate with NFLshop.comI took the above$100 off if you buy a blue ray player $100 off if you buy a $500 stere speaker system Maybe the unit looked bad on the old firmware. I have talked to many people who has plasma for years; they all said this TV's picture quality is amazing. They all recommend to jump in if you can get it under $2000.

Yes, many thanks for the hot tip, TV Guy. I too got my email discount which is good for 48 hours. I think I'll wait to see what Amazon does on Friday since I'd rather have the enhanced delivery and 36-month financing. If they don't offer a competitive price I'll be hitting the place order button with Vann's Friday morning.

No question is a stupid question! This shows up on your bank statement as an Amazon purchase, regardless of which vendor you purchase from. Thank you for shopping with DGS Novelties!

When I asked amazon costumer service I was told that this product is not a part of AMD's "Never Settle Forever" program and I would not be getting a coupon code with my purchase. *edit* After reiterating that this video-card is included in the page showing participating products they have forwarded my claim to another costumer service team, I will update when-if they provide my coupon codes. *final edit* I finally received my code, I was informed that their automated system missed me. So if you don't receive your coupon in a week or 2 get in contact with amazon costumer service and don't take no for an answer.

Go to Definitive Technology's website and get a phone number, then, you can call them and ask them and make sure. I don't believe that DT offers them online with a discount though but I could be wrong.

Can I hook up a regular converter box to this t.v. and get my local channels? I ordered this t.v. and I do not have cable or any paid services.

I have done that with a TV however as long as it is new and you upload the receipt I think it is fine. You can always get their number online and call them but it does not say you have to purchase through Amazon.
