The BC Blog: Digital TV converter box coupons now available

  • Bill M. · 1 year ago
    I’ve been looking for information on the web for converter boxes, which one to buy and where. The best source by far has been this one http://www.ezdigitaltv.com/Converter_Box_Retail... they have several user manuals for helping to decide which box to choose.

    Coupons are going out right now! I got my two, now to decide which box to buy :)

    BTW, from Zatznotfunny.com,

    A number of companies racked up fines today for violating FCC rules tied to the digital TV transition. According to Jeff Baumgartner, the FCC put out $6 million in fines targeted mainly at retailers who did not correctly label TVs with analog-only tuners. A couple of companies got hit on interstate shipping rules and a couple were fined for violating V-Chip rules.

    So is this how the government plans to answer the next funding request from the National Telecommunications and Information Association (NTIA) to continue implementing the DTV coupon program? The fines are a hardly a drop in the bucket compared to the $450 million the NTIA plans to ask Congress for. But then again, $6 million is nothing to sneeze at.
