If you don’t own a digital TV or HDTV, and don’t plan on getting one by February 17th, 2009 then you might want to check out the Federal Government’s TV Converter Box Program. The feds has started taking requests for a subsidized coupon of $40 to help offset the cost of buying a TV converter so you can continue to receive over-the-air broadcasts. If you haven’t heard at midnight on February 17, 2009, most television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting in analog and switch to all digital. The move will free up airwaves for use by emergency responders plus a portion of the spectrum is going up for sale via a public auction. The coupons will begin mailing on February 17th of this year and will be available until the date of the switch or when they run out funds.
