DIGITAL CONVERSION

Coupons for new TV boxes offered

Millions of $40 government coupons become available today to help low-tech
television owners buy converter boxes for older TVs that might not work after
the switch to digital broadcasting.

Beginning Feb. 18,2009, anyone how does not own a digital set and still gets
their programming via over-the-air antennas will no longer receive a
picture.

The converter boxes are expected to cost $50 to $70 and will be available
at most major electronics retail stores. Starting today, the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration will begin accepting
requests for two $40 coupons per household to be used toward the purchase of
the boxes.

To request a coupon, consumers can call 888-388-2009 or apply online at
www.dtv2009.gov .

Viewers who have satellite or cable service will not need a box.

Congress, in ordering the transition to digital broadcasting, set aside $1.5
billion for the coupon program, which will fund 33.5 million coupons and
other costs.

Hi Tim,

I have this one for your signature

Thanks Randy. No new immunisations for version 1.4 this time around, it
seems.

(It's obvious by now that the other respondent is not 'our' Engel, and
should just be ignored. I'm very sorry you've had to put up with it.)
