Just for the record...I called the DTV # today (1-888-DTV-2009)
and it only took about 2 minutes to sign up. They inform me it should be
in mid February I will receive my converter coupon as soon as the stores
have them in stock.
So that was a easy transaction. Easy because you don't have to give
hardly any info...they already knew who I was, my name, my
address,...everything...I just had to confirm by pushing 1.
So if you want to go digital on your tv just call the number.

Isn't that limited to people who have NO TV source other than antenna?


Here is a quote from the official web site: https://www.dtv2009.gov/

..... but supplies are limited. There are 22.25 million coupons available
to all U.S. households. Once those coupons have been used, there are an
additional 11.25 million coupons available only to households that
solely receive their TV broadcasts over-the-air using an antenna.
Households with TVs connected to cable, satellite or other pay TV
service are not eligible for this second batch of coupons. Consumers can
apply for coupons until March 31, 2009, or until the funds are exhausted.
