>requests. If you need these coupons for your old 
>analog TV, apply as soon as possible before the money runs out.
>
>To apply for the coupons, go to: https://www.dtv2009.gov/ApplyCoupon.aspx

>If you already received a coupon but let it 
>expire, you can reapply for replacements NOW. 
>See this web page for the announcement:

>Be sure to check with your family and friends to 
>see if they are ready for the digital TV switch, June 12, 2009.

>Another thing to remember, if you have an older 
>TV that doesn't have a digital tuner and are on 
>cable/satellite, you may still need a converter 
>box for emergencies. For example, if your cable 
>or satellite goes out for several days (like 
>during the September wind storm), you may not be able to receive any TV.
