59 Days Left Until the Digital Transition
President Obama signed legislation on 2/11/09 pushing back the DTV Transition from Feb 17 to Jun 12, 2009. Though the transition has been postponed, the FCC is currently stating that one-third of all full-power television stations have gone ahead with their own Digital Transition despite a recent update from Nielson Ratings Firm which reported that 3.8 million homes are still not DTV ready.
Have your coupons expired? No Problem!
If you haven't heard, a major update to the DTV Coupon occured on 3/25/2009 allowing holder's of expired coupon's to reapply.
According to the National Telecommunication and Infomation Agency,
Quote:

The Coupon Program is accepting applications from consumers whose coupons expired without being redeemed. The Coupon Program limits each U.S. household to a total of two redeemed coupons. Therefore, if you have redeemed one coupon toward the purchase of a TV converter box and the other has expired, you may request and be approved for one replacement coupon; if you have redeemed two coupons you will not be approved for additional coupons. Replacement coupons will only be issued to eligible households upon request.
