[edit] Digital-Analog Converter Box Coupon Program

Each American household will be able to request up to two coupons worth $40 to facilitate the purchase of digital-analog converter boxes.[2] These requests for coupons may be submitted between the dates January 1, 2008 and March 31, 2009, inclusive.[3] This will hopefully aid in the switch to Digital television.
