Re: Cable scores in 2009
said by KA3SGM  :
I earn too much to even qualify for the 2 $40 coupons, so I need to purchase 6 of those 'theoretical' $50-$75 converters, or rent cable boxes, to continue the use of those Tv's. Where did you get that if you make too much money you can't get a coupon? According to the dtvtransition websiteany household can get a converter box income does not matter. |

| Purchase a digital-to-analog converter box that plugs into an existing television. The boxes, which are expected to cost between $50 - 70 will be available for purchase in 2008. Beginning on January 1, 2008, U.S. households can request up to two coupons valued at $40 each. I don't see who is supplying these coupons?
And why should I re-pay too view public transmissions?
Again, cable wins here.
