I was getting free [analog] cable for last couple of years because they forgot to disconnect cable when I cancel their servie. But last week they discoverd their error as they are upgrading in my neighborhood and cut me off

My Tv is still analog and don't get any local channels at all. So I am at cross road as what the next best step would be:

Get a digital convertor ($60)
Or get a new 37 inch HDTV (budget kind of tight)
Or get a cheap 32 inch HDTV ($299)
Or get a smaller HDTV (22 inch) that have digital tuner ($200) that can be used s PC monitor also.
Or get cable ($40)...no satellite allowed in my apt.
Or be like Poltergeist and stare at blank TV

I look at couple of smaller HDTV (20-22 inch) at store today, and picture look like crap especially with local channels. So that option might be out.
