So what is all the talk about televisions not working in 2009
Wednesday, January 2, 2008
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. Starting Tuesday, 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 http://www.dtv2009.gov.
_ Call the coupon program's 24-hour hot line, 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888-388-2009), 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 (1-877-388-4632).
The program is being administered by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, on the Web at http://www.ntia.doc.gov.
