By February 17, 2009, consumers will need to buy a digital converter box or new tuner to get their TV fix. Uncle Sam will be giving each American family up to two coupons for $40 (http://www.ntia.doc.gov/dtvcoupon/index.html) to help subsidize their purchase of two digital-to-analog converter boxes. According to the Los Angeles Times (http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-digital31dec31,0,701354.story?coll=la-home-center), the government started taking applications for the vouchers yesterday, either via phone (1-888-DTV-2009) or via this website (http://www.ntia.doc.gov/dtvcoupon/index.html).
