Digital TV Coupon Program Broke

If you own an analog television and get your programming via an antenna instead of cable or satellite, you probably know that you’re going to need a converter box to continue receiving TV after February 17, 2009.

You might also know that the federal government set up a $1.34 billion program to give away $40 coupons to help defray the cost of a converter box.

What you might not know is that the program is now broke; people are still allowed to sign up for the coupons, but they’re being put on a waiting list on the off chance that Congress will give the program more money.

If you need such a converter box, apply for one NOW. Right now… as in “this second”. At least get your name on the list before the Feds cut it off.
