Join the Digital TV Transition
Next February 17, 2009, if you have an over-the-air analog TV set – one that uses rabbit ears or a rooftop antenna – your TV may not work.
Act now. Get the free government-sponsored coupon to buy a converter box, a one-time purchase that will let your current TV receive the new digital signal.
The government is offering U.S. households up to two free $40 coupons – they look like gift cards and must be used within 90 days – to help with the cost of certified TV converter boxes. These boxes are expected to cost between $40 and $70.
Coupons are free, but supply is limited. Request them now:
Phone: 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888-388-2009)
TTY: 1-877-530-2634
Online Form: www.DTV2009.gov
The coupons will be mailed to you along with: instructions for using the coupons, a list of coupon-eligible certified TV converter boxes, a list of retailers where you can use the coupon to buy a certified TV converter box, and frequently asked questions about using the coupon.
