DTV convertors

They keep announcing the DTV changes on tv lately so I went to their
website. I did not learn anything new. I still have one question
that no one has yet answered. When we connect a DTV convertor to a
standard TV, I assume the tv will have to be set to channel 3 or 4 (or
to AUX for sets that have it). Just like when using a DVD player or
VCR.

These convertors are not yet being sold, and i have only seen some
spall photos on the web. None of them mention or show a remote
control. Does this mean that all of us who get the convertor will
have to keep walking over to that convertor box to change channels?
It sure seems that will be the case. If this is progress, then we
really better put an end to all future progress......

I suppose no one really knows on this newsgroup, but there must be
some people in this country who have used these convertors as "product
testers".
