Apply, Buy, and Try DTV
The Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), announced that all “over-the-air” television consumers who want to participate in the TV Converter Box Coupon Program should apply for coupons before the end of the year to minimize the chances of losing TV reception when full-power broadcasters switch to digital. Full-power TV broadcasters switch from analog to digital on broadcasts on February 17, 2009.
“The Wilmington, North Carolina test showed that households who rely on a TV antenna for reception need to apply early in order to minimize the number of Americans adversely affected when the switch occurs,” said Acting Assistant Secretary and Acting NTIA Administrator Meredith Baker. “We urge consumers who need coupons not to wait until the last minute and to apply for your coupon(s), buy a converter box, and try the box with their television as soon as possible”
