Rush for those DTV converter box coupons
By Carl Hoover

Somebody’s paying attention to the increased coverage of the impending digital television transition come Feb. 17, 2009: Broadcasting & Cable reports that a half million TV owners already have requested the $40 coupons toward a digital-to-analog converter box that will be needed for old analog televisions to receive digital television signals.
Most have requested the maximum of two coupons per household, too, which means if this furious rate of demand continues - it’s only been two days since one could apply for the coupons - the first pot of government money set aside for the coupons ($990 million) could run out by late February when the mailing of coupons begins. A second pot of money ($510 million) kicks in at that point, but it’s earmarked for households who don’t subscribe to cable or satellite television.
Call this number - 1-888-388-2009 - to order your coupon now or go here online.
