Digital Television Conversion Update
On July 24 of last year, I reported that starting at midnight on February 17, 2009 over the air television broadcasts would be converted to a digital signal. In this posting, I mentioned that coupons would be available from the government to offset the cost of purchasing a conversion unit. It is now possible to register for one of these coupons.
To sign up for a coupon, (you may request up to two) visit https://www.dtv2009.gov/ and follow the instructions. The coupons are expected to begin shipping in the end of February, but a limited supply is available so the sooner you order the better.
What do you think? Do you still watch television over the air or does everyone subscribe to cable? If you do use an antenna are you planning on purchasing a converter box or just buying a new television? I look forward to your comments.
