“ Those that really are going to go the converter boxwood , they ’re not travel to buy a TV anyway . We ’re talking about a $ 40 convertor box that ’s going to downgrade a digital to an analog signaling — I think , some people , it ’s good enough for them , but they were not going to be television purchasers from Sony anyway . So I do n’t see that being a major effect in term of HD televisions being sold in this body politic . ” [ accent added ]
