Remember, if you have a TV with a digital tuner, you can already watch DTV. If your TV is connected to cable or satellite, the change to digital shouldn’t affect you.

But if you use an analog TV with rabbit ears or a rooftop antenna, you need to act. You can buy a TV with a digital tuner… You can subscribe to cable or satellite…

Or, you can buy a converter box and plug it in to your analog TV. You can get up to two $40 coupons toward the purchase of converter boxes. To apply for your coupons, call toll-free 1-888-388-2009 or go online to www.DTV2009.gov.

If your TV is ready you can get the benefits of digital broadcast today but don’t delay or…
