Great question: simply put, yes, all U.S addresses are eligible for a
converter box coupon, but keep in mind that the supplies are limited.
What is the converter box coupon program?
It is estimated that there are roughly 23 million coupons available. Each
home is eligible for no more then two coupons. Once those coupons have been
used, there will only be an additional 11 million coupons available for people
who must receive their television’s broadcast with over the air antennas.
Here’s the catch: homes that already have cable, satellite, or some form of
paid for TV service, will not be eligible for the second batch of coupons.
There is no massive rush, however, you only have until March 31, 2009, to apply and receive your converter
box coupon.
If the coupons run out before that however, then you will have to pay full price for the converter box.
