On February 17, 2009, all full-power TV stations in the U.S. will switch from analog and begin 100% digital broadcasting. If you are currently receiving your television signal over-the-air with an outside antenna and/or “rabbit ears,” you will be affected. The good news is you can still use your analog TV set— but you will need to buy a TV converter box.**

Discount Coupons Are Available: The U.S. Congress created the TV Converter Box Coupon Program for households wishing to keep using their analog TV sets after February 17, 2009. The Program allows U.S. households to obtain up to two coupons, each worth $40, which can be applied toward the cost of eligible TV converter boxes.

How To Apply For A TV Converter Box Coupon: Until March 31, 2009, you can request a coupon while supplies last by calling the Coupon Program toll-free 24-hour automated system 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888- 388-2009). Deaf or hard of hearing callers may dial 1-877-530-2634 (English/TTY) or 1-866-495-1161 (Spanish/TTY). TTY Service is available from 9 AM - 9 PM Eastern Time Monday through Friday

**A TV set connected to cable, satellite or other pay TV service does not require a TV converter box from this program.
