Analog Television Converter Boxes
As of February 18th, 2009, anyone who doesn't own a digital TV set and still gets their programming with an antenna, will no longer be able to receive a picture without a "converter" box.  The National Telecommunications and Information Administration is accepting requests for two $40 coupons per household to be used toward the purchase of the converter boxes.  The converter box is not necessary for those who have satellite or cable service.
