To keep or use free over the air digital TV after February 2009 you will
need to get a Digital TV converter. I've seen so many commercials about it
I figured I would look into it further. It appears if your TV doesn't have
a built in digital converter and you use over the air (rabbit ears) to get
your signal or ever plan to (for that cabin in the woods) you NEED to buy a
Digital Converter Box. The government is offering every home in America 2
$40 coupons you can apply for. I've been looking around where you can use
the coupons to get a free DTV box and haven't found any places yet, but I
did find a site that has both the coupon information, how to make sure you
get it (wink), check the status of your coupon (it takes a few weeks) and
most importantly places you can use the coupons online. Check out
http://dealfandango.com and do a search for "converter". It will bring up
all the links you need to get a box for cheap (to apply for the coupon start
by clicking on the Red TV). I would say keep looking around, but the people
at DealFandango.com said that if any go for less or hopefully become
available for free they will post immediately. I guess they are checking
daily..makes it easy for us. I think there is a way to do the searches
straight in the DealFandango URL, but didn't have time yet to figure it out.
I'll post here if I can figure it out. I just bought a box for $13
delivered which seems like a sweet deal. Let me know if anyone can beat
that, I have another coupon and TV I need to support. Viva Free TV!!!

I guess you never heard of Radio Shack, Walmart, Circuit City or Best
Buy, or maybe you live where none of these stores are present. They all
have them (Zenith, Motorola and other brands depending on store) and
they are certified to meet the specs.

None of those places allow you to buy online.
