Television's Conversion to Digital

Beginning Feb. 18, 2009, television stations will stop broadcasting analog signals.
An older, non-digital television without cable or satellite service will need a special converter box to receive a picture.
The boxes are expected to cost between $50 and $70.
Each household can request two $40 coupons at no charge to help pay for the boxes. 
There are four ways to request a coupon:
  • Apply online at www.dtv2009.gov.
  • Call the coupon program's 24-hour hotline at 1-888-DTV-2009 or TTY 1-877-530-2634.
  • Mail a coupon application to P.O. Box 2000, Portland, OR 97208-2000.
  • Fax a coupon application to 1-877-DTV-4ME2.
The program is being administered by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, located on the web at www.ntia.doc.gov
