Final Days Before Digital TV (DTV) Transition: Are You Ready?

Final Days Before Digital TV (DTV) Transition: Are You Ready?

MINNEAPOLIS, May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The official shutdown of all full-power analog television stations is now just days away. Are you ready for June 12th? If you have an older analog TV, you still have time to order a coupon from the government and get a converter box before the switch happens. If you don't prepare yourself before June 12th, all you may wake up to is some summertime snow on your TV!

You can apply for up to two $40 coupons at http://www.dtv2009.gov/ or by calling 1-888-DTV-2009. Coupons are sent via first class mail and are typically received within 9 or 10 days. Be sure to act fast if you have not already done so. Now is also a great time to check with neighbors and friends to make sure that they are prepared as well. If you don't need your coupons, there are many opportunities to share or donate them to organizations that are helping those who are finding this transition to be difficult. You can check with your local TV stations about opportunities to donate coupons locally, or you can do it quickly and easily online at http://www.donatedtv.com/. Your coupon will be used to purchase a converter box at no cost and an authorized non-profit group will ensure that it gets into the hands of someone in need.

Still need a converter for yourself? You can go down to your local store and pick one up, but you can find many good deals online without even leaving your house. http://www.freedtvshop.com/ has an Airlink101 ATVC102 converter box for free after coupon, and they include free shipping! Many people are finding it frustrating that local retailers aren't offering the converter boxes for an even exchange for the coupon, or $40. Buying online at http://www.freedtvshop.com/ can save you time and money! If you have a neighbor that is technologically challenged, you could just as easily order your coupons at http://www.dtv2009.gov/, place an order at FreeDTVShop.com for the free converter box, and then bring it over to them and help them install it. That simple neighborly gesture is sure to go a long way in building community and friendship throughout the neighborhood! But remember to act quickly as the days to act are steadily passing by.

"Mosquito Productions at FreeDTVShop.com" has been an authorized retailer in the TV coupon program since February 2008 and sells converter boxes online at http://www.freedtvshop.com/.
