| +2 | Digital TV Converter Box Coupon Program |
 Do you have an analog TV? At midnight on February 17, 2009, all full-power television stations in the US will stop broadcasting in analog and switch to 100% digital broadcasting. Congress created the TV Converter Box Coupon Program for households wishing to keep using their analog TV sets after February 17, 2009. The Program allows U.S. households to obtain up to two coupons, each worth $40, that can be applied toward the cost of eligible converter boxes. [A TV connected to cable, satellite or other pay TV service does not require a TV converter box from this program.] This website provides details about this federal program for those who want to continue using their analog TV sets after February 17, 2009. Find out whether you need a converter box, how to obtain coupons to be applied towards the cost of the box, where to purchase one, and other information. Note that the coupons expire 90 days after they are mailed, so don't order one until you are ready to buy your converter box. Comments
