The future is here and it came in the mailbox yesterday. Even though I’ve been watching the HD over the air signals on my computer tuner these past few weeks, the reality of HD TV really started to hit when my TV Converter Box coupons came in the mail yesterday.

I’m sure a lot of people will get the boxes, but many will be craiglisting scads of analog televisions until they go the way of film cameras and nobody wants one anymore. That also means we’re going to see a big television purchasing bump between now and next year when the analog signals shut down. I’m just sayin’…

PANASONIC – MC
SONY – SNE
SHARP – SHCAY
PHILIPS – PHG
GE – GE
PIONEER – 6773.T
TOSHIBA – TOSBF
SAMSUNG is traded in Seoul, London and Luxomburg
OLEVIA – BRLC

By the way, I’m just a musician. If I were you, I’d go elsewhere for stock tips.
