TV converter Box Coupon Program

November 12, 2008
At midnight, February 17, 2009, television viewing in America is scheduled to change. All full-power television stations in the United States are converting their broadcasting from analogue to 100% digital. This will result in better clarity of viewing and more programming options for the public.
 
Individual households will be required to have a conversion box if their television sets are not controlled through cable, satellite or fiber optics. From now until March 2009, consumers will be able to apply for up to two $40 coupons per household provided by the U.S. Government. The converter box is a one time purchase and prices are expected to range between $50 and $70 without the coupon. Coupons expire within 90 days of the date they are mailed out to consumers. Local retailers will carry the boxes for purchase.
