Background
On February 17, 2009, all major TV stations are required by the government to turn off their existing analog broadcasts and switched into digital broadcast. According to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) report, about 15.5 million US households watch TV over the air programming.
The US Congress created the TV Converter Box Coupon Program for people wishing to keep using their analog TV sets after the analog-to-digital cutover date, February 17, 2009. The Program allows U.S. households to obtain up to two coupons, each worth $40, which can be applied toward the cost of eligible converter boxes.
