[Shop-talk] TV Switch to digital broadcasting

[Dwade Reinsch]

Being old and poor, I''m not planning to replacing my TV's as we switch to
digital broadcasting, but plan to get converter boxes for all three of my
current TV's.
I got my $40 coupon a few days ago and picked up a GE brand box
for the first TV.  I've installed it and everything works fine EXCEPT (this is
where I need help from the list) I'm not able to skip or turn off the channels
that I do not want tosee as I push the channel change button.  I'm receiving
about 35 total channels now but 4 are weather channels, and 10+ are Spanish
channels.  When I'm channel surfing, I'd like to skip over those channels and
just go to the channels I usually watch.  
Is this possible with a converter
box?  Do I need to buy a more expensive box to get this function?  Has anyone
else had this problem.
Thanks in advance.
