scorch Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I applied online for a coupon for a digital converter box back in mid-November, but I never got it. I ordered a second one in January, but was told that there is no more coupon funding and that I would be put on a waiting list.Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to get one, or am I sol?

swirlgirl Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I know that Congress was looking into extending the digital conversion deadline so the government could fund more coupons.But, I would say don't depend on it. Buy your own box. They don't cost that much and if you have cable or a newer TV you don't even need a box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transition will be made February 17th.You are probably right. I guess I would just have to buy a converter box with my own money as I do not have pay tv service or a newer tv.

Do you have a DVR or Blu Ray? A lot of these come with a built in digital tuner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
