Valid to 5/27/2008. $28/bo http://www.wcpo.com/content/news/loc...7-adc46fed0eeb Gerard Catapano of Consumer Reports says "the Government has set up a program to help people buy a digital Convert Box, by offering a 40 dollar coupon to purchase a box." Just call 888-DTV-2009..or go to www.dtv2009.gov. Your coupon should arrive in a couple of months. So stay informed, so you don't waste your money. I'm John Matarese. |

What makes you think anyone actually cares what is or isn't legal for these coupons? -- AFAICT the "coupons" are tied to an address, Being like a credit/debit card they get instant verification as to how many have been sold for that address. Risk $28 to save $12? Not even if I couldn't get my own coupons. And you think a sales droid is gonna give a flip about an address? Like the FEMA cards? Shee-it. People use other people's cards all the time - they don't care if the names are different even if they bothered to look. Plastic? Ka-ching! That's all they care about. -- jer email reply - I am not a 'ten' |

Well, a guy over here has redeemed a coupla dozen coupons for himself, having filed for them using his neighbor's names and addresses. He redeems the coupons at a variety of stores, then sells the converters at a local flea market. A neighbor asked him how much he sells the boxes for all he said was, "making a killing off these idiots!" He's bought some coupons for $25, redeems, and sells those boxes too. Yeah, that coupon program has a lot of integrity embedded in the rules. -- jer email reply - I am not a 'ten' |

Rick Well, you know they're free, and I know they're free, and some others around here know they're free, but I know a bunch of folks that don't know squat. Which is odd because these people are usually at the taking end of any 'free' line no matter what it is. Having to wait for the free **** is likely a problem, so I presume they've been a tad discouraged. -- jer email reply - I am not a 'ten' |
