If you are looking for the best deal in digital converter boxes then you need to get the Dish Network tr40 cra like I did. I read a bunch of reviews about different converter boxes and found out that the TR40 CRA was rated very high by almost everybody around.  The original version of it had a bunch of software bugs but this new version works like a charm and comes with the most features.  Besides being one of the best digital converters the TR40 CRA is also one of the cheapest digital converter boxes at only $40.  This means that if you use your government issued converter box coupon you can get this digital converter box for only shipping + tax.

I’m really torn on which blind to get. If only I had a million dollars then I would defiantly get Velux blinds. It’s just that the economy is so bad right now. It makes it really hard to go out and make a big purchase like this. I think it would ultimately be a very good investment in the house and when the housing market comes back then it would certainly help me sell it if I were in the position to do so.

I like the Velux blinds the best. They really seem to have the best quality and the fact that they specialize in skylight blinds is a definate bonus. I am supposed to get a bonus at the end of the year so I think I’m going to try and hold out till then. If only I had a million dollars…

If you recently purchased the RCA DTA800B1 converter box and are having trouble installing it then check out my general installation guide below.

All converter box are very similar and easy to install. Most converter boxes plug into the back of televisions in a very easy way.  All you have to do is simply hook up the two cables to the back of your television, into the appropriate jacks and then also hook them up to your converter box.  Then just make sure it is plug in and you are ready to go.

If this doesn’t work then I recommend consulting your owner’s manual. It should have all of the necessary instructions for any problems you may be having.

My wife owns a personal training business where she is constantly printing mail outs and flyers. The result of this is we go through several color ink cartridges every week. We had to find a cheaper alternative and now buy cheap printer cartridges online. The savings are quite remarkable. As it turns out, you can refill the printer cartridges instead of just buying new ones each time.

They use the same ink, but at about half the cost to the consumer. We started refilling our cartridges and have not looked back since. Instead of spending an arm and a leg on ink, now we spend perhaps a couples toes.

If you are a Nw York Yankees fan and love sports   memorabilia  you might want to consider collecting Babe Ruth Baseball Cards. In a recent yahoo news study Babe Ruth Baseball Cards have more than tripled n value in the past 6 years which is a much higher percentage than any other Hall of Famer in the study. ? It makes total sense that the Iconic Sluggers cards are dramatically increasing in value due to the fan base of the New York Yankees and sports card collectors in general.

With a lack of places to invest your money buying old babe ruth cards might be a fun and creative way of investing your money. I am not sure if the stock market will give you the same bang for your buck.

My dog is a free sole bless her heart but her constant wondering has me worried. I live in a safe neighborhood but I still worry a lot. My friend told me the other day about these dog gps collars that can keep track of your dog at all times. She was showing me how she can keep track of her dog online on her computer. I have to say that I was very impressed.

I understand that these dog tracking systems are expensive but I think it would be worth the cost. These devices have been around a few years and it seems like a good time to buy something like this. I’m not sure if they have these things at pet stores or if I’ll have to buy it online. I’ll probably check the pet store when I go grocery shopping today.

I just came ? back from my vacation at Big Bear. It was one of the best corporate vacations I have ever had. My boss took 20 of us for some time out as we spend some quality time discussing some of the new ideas he wants to implement this year. The Big Bear Cabins that we stayed at were each 3000 square feet and had all the amenities that we wanted. We spent the first two days talking business and the rest of the time fishing, water skiing and just taking in the outdoors.  Its amazing how much I miss just connecting with nature. We are almost always stuck in an office all day just crunching numbers you kinda forget how beautiful and spiritual nature can be. I tried water skiing for the first time and by day 2 I was actually doing really well. ? I recommend it to anybody who has never tried and if you are looking to go on vacation in the US you should definitely consider Big Bear.

You may think that Halloween candy pails and costumes are to be used only when organizing a Halloween party. Let me tell you how wrong you are: my best birthday celebration ever was a costumed party, where guests were free to choose the theme for their costumes. The only rule was that couples chose the same theme. And they surely did: we had among our guests the ham and eggs, mustard and ketchup, Cleopatra and Pharaoh, or Superman and Supergirl, only to give you a few examples. The party decorations were somehow neutral, as the guests’ costume themes were a complete surprise for us, the hosts. However, we managed to have a great party pack which made all our friends laugh to tears. I bet you’ll never guess what was our chosen party theme.

Some people choose to live frugally, despite the fact that they are millionaires. Others are going crazy because they strive for a luxury which they feel like they’d never afford. Personally, I don’t see a big difference between designer bags and no-name bags which are carefully worked and finished. Beauty has no label for me, so regardless how much money I’d have, I’d never buy some crazy expensive purse, dress or pair of shoes, only to show off in front of my friends. I believe life is not about showing off, but about showing that you care. Try living frugally for about one month and you’ll see what I mean. You’ll see how many useless things we carry and store our whole life.  

The first wave of converter boxes that came out were all missing the very important analog pass-through function that is needed to allow people to continue to watch low power television stations that aren’t require to make the transition.  The result of this was that most converter box companies quickly began coming out with updated versions of their converter boxes that included this feature. I was glad to see this but kept waiting and waiting for Tivax to update their converter box since I wanted analog pass through but all wanted a Tivax converter box.  And today is finally the today.  Tivax has come out with the new Tivax stb-t8.  The stb-t8 no different than the stb-t9 except for its analog pass feature.
