As for the $40 coupons…they must be used individually, i. e. one per each set top box. You can’t use two coupons totaling $80 to buy one set top box. The set top converters that I have seen also modulate an output to channel 3 or 4 for older sets that might not have direct video connections. Thanks for the good comments! jtd Good points John, I forgot about the low power TV stations.

Remember that not every analog TV station is going off the air in February of 2009. Translators and low power stations are still going to be analog until the FCC forces them to change. As bottom line broadcasters, they don't have the financial resources or even desire to go digital. Second, don't forget that those $40 coupons buy a converter box that puts out composite and S video and 2 channel stereo. If the box puts out HD or multichannel audio, of any flavor, it is excluded from the program. Two things… Remember that not every analog TV station is going off the air in February of 2009.
