The government is accepting requests for coupons to subsidize the cost of converter boxes for those who need them. Each household is eligible for two coupons worth $40 apiece, regardless of whether they have pay-television service or not. To request a coupon, consumers can apply online at http://www.dtv2009.gov or call the 24-hour hotline, 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888-388-2009).

Good God in Heaven, is there no end to the pandering our government will sink to?

If everyone in the US, and I mean everyone, requests these, will the government not be able to afford the regularly scheduled wealth transfer payments? We can't have that, can we?

Success through individual effort.

Tax cuts.

I think there is like a finite number available, so it’s first come, first serve.

You forgot the children. For gosh sakes, think of the children!

If I understand correctly, this was done as a deal to the broadcasters who really didn’t want to move away from analog and make the investment in digital. A long time in the making, this move to digital.

I believe Bill Clinton, the racist, signed this into law, with pleasure?
