Walmart has a digital-to-analog converter box for about $50. They have a handout sheet which
tells you how to apply for two 'free' $40 'coupons' to use to purchase the converters...Other stores
have fancier, pricier ones...Considering the age of your sets, the walmart box is probably the way
to go...If you have a VCR and tape directly 'off-air'--ahead of your TVs, insert the digital converter
box btween your antenna and the VCR--then jumper from the VCR to your TV...If your VCR and
TVs have 'S' connections or 'Red-Green-Yellow' and 'audio--mono or stereo--use these connec-
tions as they give a sharper picture and sound...Good luck and make sure you have a surge arres-
ter on your antenna cables...During storm season, pull the antenna cable off your TV or insert an
antenna cable switch to disconnect the antenna when you are not using the TV...
