You can apply for converter box coupons right now! These coupons became available as of January 1, 2008, and will be available until March 31, 2009. This is all, of course, dependent on supplies and how long they last.

It won’t hurt to go ahead and apply so that you will have the coupons when you are ready to purchase a converter box. (Keep in mind the coupons do expire though! Check the expiration date on the back.)
