The waiting list is cause Congress only allocated $1.34bn for the coupons and that has all been used up, So until Congress can fix this, Those who don't already have a coupon or two will have to just go on the waiting list or get a box from a cable company or a satellite box instead or buy a converter box without a coupon. Most cable companies have a digital option now too. Calm Chaos Forum...Join Calm Chaos Now |

REGARDING DTV COUPONS: GREETINGS VIEWERS I started this with a message that i thought was very funny because i live in a cosmopolitan part of the country. At the time we thought all the suggested web links in it were a joke. I really want to apologize if the message upset some people. In case you want coupons or want to donate yours to individuals or institutions such as shelters, i think you can get 2 per household; they are worth $40 a piece, and are valid for 90 days. http://www.DTV2009.gov or 1-888-388-2009 toll free, according to AARP humm: your telescope would a better use of your eyes HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY keep telescopic listening devices aimed at the Zenith of the Horizon |

REGARDING DTV COUPONS: The coupon program is currently out of money, and no coupons are currently being sent out. However, it would be a good idea to get on the list now because more money might become available to the program. This is related to the possible delay in implementation. BOINC WIKI |

I read in the paper this morning that the Senate voted for a delay to digital until June. Now it's up to the House. Things look a bit favorable for the delay. |

They had piles of them at my local Circuit City the other day. Only 15% off an already overpirced unit tho', but that discount did take the price down to just $2 more than Wal-Mart. ;) Calm Chaos Forum...Join Calm Chaos Now |
