I called the 888 number this morning and it is quick and painless. It is all automated you give your name and address. They said the converters are not in stores yet so I will get my coupon in late February. You press the number pad for how many coupons you want 1-2 and they ask if you have sat. or cable.
Thanks for checking that out. Sounds like it started up right on schedule. P.S> You can apply for the coupons online at this address: »www.dtv2009.gov/ApplyCoupon.aspx
