On February 17, 2009 if your TV service comes from "rabbit ears" or an antannae on the roof you'll be without TV. All U.S. households with those services will have to switch to digital service unless they purchase a converter box. Millions of converter box coupons have been asked for from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. There can be two $40 coupons given per household and they can be used at retail outlets such as Best Buy, Office Depot, Circuit City, RadioShack, Sears, Target and Wal-Mart. Some brands will reportedly sell for $39.99.
If you have cable TV or satellite TV you will not be affected. For information you can visit www.dtv2009.gov .
That is less than one year off and you know how fast time flies.
