I Want My Free TV

Is your household one of the few that still has rabbit ears on your television? (Mine, too!) Come 2009 the set-top contraptions will become useless. That's when most TV stations will be required to broadcast with digital signals. And that means if we want to keep watching TV without cable or satellite, we'll have to buy a converter box for $50 to $70. But wait; there's a silver lining. Uncle Sam is stepping in to help foot the bill via $40 coupons--up to two per household. You can request the coupons online or by calling 888-388-2009.

Matt's View

The coupons will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. So, if your house is a cable-free zone, fill out the short online application today.
