Has anybody tried the digital eyeglasses that switch analog Tv to digital TV?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

I fielded a call at my neighbor's house where I'm
watching the place while they're on a skiing vacation.
The guy (on the phone, not my neighbor) is from the
Bureau of Digital Conversion or something. He wants
to know if I have gotten ready for the switchover to
digital. As a matter of fact, I had not and was starting
to worry about getting a digital converter box. "You could do
that," the guy, Robert Johnston, I beleve it was, says.
"Or you could purchase digital conversion eyeglasses,
which are a lot cheaper." ($5 as opposed to up to $30
for a box). He said I was eligible for both the glasses
and the coupons to buy the glasses. He said with the glasses
you just put them on to watch TV, no set up, no wires etc.
The digital conversion system is a part of the glasses
itself, in the frames or glass. I believe he said
the coupons were the same as for the box, which would mean
I would actually MAKE money, which would show up on the
credit card as a refund. I didn't have my credit card on
me, being at my neighbor's, but my neighbor left his for
me in case I needed it for anything around his place.
So I used his card to get the glasses, figuring he'll be
happy to see he made money off the deal, even though
I'll get the glasses. He's already got satellite Tv
or something. But now I'm starting to wonder,
are the glasses better than the box?

2. I have digital drinking glasses

They let you get virtually plastered without ever opening the bottle.

[HeraldSquare212]

37. I should get those - probably better than the beer goggles I usually use.

[Lex]

3. I think the glasses I'm selling are much better

but they cost $10 instead of $5. Please send cash.

[Orrex]

4. Do you sell a monicle?

Much more dapper, I find.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

6. One eye analog, one eye digital?

I don't think so. (I almost said something about
Lewinsky, but I didn't.)

5. ...

:thumbsup:

Your neighbor will be so happy that you took care of him. I'm sure that he'll have you watch his house forevermore after this. ;)

[A-Schwarzenegger]

14. He's actually quite a grouch of a fellow.

I'm hoping this will cheer him up.
Although the whole family's grumpy.
I asked if I could go skiiing with them
and they made faces like I was kidding.

7. I thought about buying a pair

until I discovered that they allow the government to monitor your brain waves. :tinfoilhat:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

16. If I was them I wouldnt monitor my brain waves if I was them.

:* :radio: :web:

8. I'm saving my spot.

I was just thinking about your posts 5 minutes ago. I have to go out, but I'll be back.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

17. Well, this is already my favorite answer.

[Starry Messenger]

40. Well, naturally.

That's because I already have the glasses on. Viewing DU in analog was getting messy.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

49. Sometimes I wonder if they change things just to have new stuff to sell.

No, they wouldn't do that.
:daily: :weekly: :tv:

9. I have a digital sundial.

[Orrex]

10. I have a digital nose-picker

Very handy.

[alfredo]

18. Ha!

[Poll_Blind]

11. I've just been using Tequila. Any brand will do.

[htuttle]

12. Those were developed by the famous inventor "Harold von Braunhut", right?

I'm sure they work at least as well as his other inventions...

[A-Schwarzenegger]

19. Is he the fella invented digital chia sea monkeys?

[htuttle]

25. Yes! Also, "Invisible Goldfish" and "XRay Specs"

Brilliant, brilliant man. The Dean Kamen of his time!

Unfortunately, he was a Nazi. :shrug:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

39. Oh Yecs--XRay Specs!

Let's see, what to look through first...

[sundog]

13. they make everything 3d

but it's worth it

[A-Schwarzenegger]

21. Oh no.

3d makes me gasoeus.
This is not good news.

[dorkulon]

15. I am Nigerian Royalty and I would enedeavour to enlist your help in transferring funds....

:spray:

[BrklynLiberal]

28. ROTFLMAO!!!

[Z_I_Peevey]

20. You've been scammed.

To pick up something as new and high-techy as a digital signal, I believe you must wear CONTACT LENSES.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

26. Contacts were a dollar more.

Plus I have a wooden eye that contacts don't stick to the shellac.

[KT2000]

22. You did the right thing

The glasses are much better because you can wear them everywhere, whereas the converter box would be a real pain to lug around.
:thumbsup:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

23. You mean actual real life is going to go to digital in February?

I predict a big mess.

[KT2000]

27. Yep!

Me too - there are lots of retired people where I live. The stores here made the decision not to use "Self Check-out" because of the "population." But this thing is mandatory.
Personally I am stocking up on essentials so I can stay in until the worst is over.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

29. I need digital self-check-out glasses.

What's next, flying our own airliners?

[KT2000]

36. Send credit card #

and I'll fix you right up!!
No more security lines at the airport too.

[NoPasaran]

30. Yeah, it'll be worse than that day in 1953 when reality switched over to color from black and white

Well, at least we know the Rosenbergs won't be selling THIS secret to the Russkies!

[valerief]

33. 1965, please. nt

[NoPasaran]

34. Yeah, out in the boonies

Things happened a lot sooner in the big cities.

[valerief]

38. self-delete

Oops, I thought I read your post wrong but I hadn't.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

50. My second favorite post of the thread.

:)

[pl259]

24. My glasses make everything look like a penis.

I'm cockeyed.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

31. This is a science thread.

I almost said hard science thread.

[valerief]

32. You can also hookup your digital clock radio to the teevee, too.

:rofl:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

42. I'm going to try my digital toaster.

But first I'm waiting at the mailbox for my glasses.

[Shardik]

35. Good one! But please don't send this to my parents house.

:)

[Swamp Rat]

41. LOLOLOL!!!!....... you can see THEM too!

:D

[A-Schwarzenegger]

43. "I'm giving you a choice: either put on these glasses or start eatin' that trash can."

:* :tv:

[myrna minx]

44. Are you sure he was officially an official?

John Smith, the nice gentleman who sold me my glasses, told me that I needed to register my glasses with the the US Government, therefore he needed my social security number to make sure everything was in order and to "activate" them. While I still haven't received my glasses yet, he said it could take 6-12 weeks to receive them. It doesn't sound like Robert Johnson did everything by the book. I hope you weren't scammed. You never know these days. :D

[A-Schwarzenegger]

46. He said to activate them I need to watch the Rose Parade

and one of the floats would send a code.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

45. Now that you bought the glasses, would you like to buy a bridge? I know one that you

can get for a song. ;)

[A-Schwarzenegger]

48. I'll go over to my neighbors and put the bridge on his card.

[FarLeftRage]

47. ROTFLMAO!!!

I sense another "OSCAR" thread... :rofl:!!!
