How to save money on your converter box

If you currently own an analog television, you do not need to buy a brand new television in order to continue watching television after the transition. Instead, you will need a converter box, on sale in many retail stores for $40-$70.

Each household can save money by getting coupons for $40 off the cost of up to two converter boxes. The coupons must be ordered online at www.dtv2009.gov or by calling 1-888-388-2009. Coupons do not apply to fancier, multi-function converter boxes.
