So if there are any of you out there that still use the old bunny ears on your TV, you are aware that in 2009 analog television will no longer be available. In 2009 all the stations will be required to broadcast in digital. This means our bunny ear antennas will no longer work. If you're like me and it's just out of the question to pay for cable/satellite, then you will need to buy a converter box to receive the digital broadcasting on your old tube style TV. Once again, the thought of paying for anything to watch TV makes me squirm. The government has decided to provide a coupon program to help people buy the converter boxes. Right now each household can get 2 coupons worth $40 each (only one coupon per converter box). Eligible converter boxes will cost anywhere from $50 - $70, so this is a big chance to save! Just go to the DTV website to apply for a coupon for your family.
