fpb-let us chose

December 23, 2009

Recently I bought a new T.V and VCR. I contacted the fbp and asked if I still had to rent a box. Their Standard response is that you still have to rent a box. I contacted Radio Shack in order to purchase a converter box and they said they wouldn't sell them because they may not be compaitable to the new fpb system.
Basically FPB is telling us we have to rent their box in order to pay for the perks of the fpb ( see previous articles in the state journal).The fpb won't tell us what kind of box we can buy that is compatable with thier new system. The fpb board is ramming this down our throats and telling us we have no choice.
I say there is a choice. We can stage peaceful protests untill either the fpb releases the information so that we can buy a box OUTSIDE their system or until John Higginbotham is fired.
