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.
