Free Digital TV Converter Box

[Unregistered]

Is there a way to get a dtv converter box for free? From what I understand, the coupon program ended a couple of years ago but is there any other assistance programs to help lower costs to buy a new converter box?

Guest,

You are correct, the Government program has ended. They can be purchased new from many vendors including Wal Mart and they can be found used at garage sales and Thrift Stores as well as on Craigslist dot org.

What about in 2013, has there been any changes for getting a free tv converter box? I really can't afford to spend $40 right now.

That's history, no more freebies from the gubment for digital tuners.

Is there any possible way to get a free TV box after the converter box coupon program ended?

Only if you have a friend or family member who has updated their TV and is willing to give you their converter box.

You will need a 2007 or newer TV, or an older TV and digital converter box. Converters are getting more difficult to find, and often times are not a wise investment. Considering the cost of a new TV. You will need an appropriate antenna for your location.
To get more antenna advice. We would need a TV Fool report for your location. Go to https://www.tvfool.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29 and post a link to your report back here.

Only way to get a free converter box at this point in history is to find someone willing to give you one they are no longer using. Good luck!!!

Check your local swap-meet or craigslist. There are a bunch of really cheap used ones for sale everywhere if you look in the right places.

Encrypting digital cable, and requiring a cable company issued box, is how cable companies are attempting to eliminate cable theft.
