Hello: I ordered my DTV coupons just after the first of the year and received them in March. They come by standard mail,so the envelope would look like mail from an advertiser.Don't overlook it!If you wrote down your order number you received when ordering the coupons, you can check to see what date they will be mailed, as they are not sent out right away.You can check through the DTV2009 web site.

Don't know about the analog pass-through feature on some of the boxes. A list of accepted boxes will come with the coupons you have ordered.If a box with this feature is not on the list, the coupon can not be used. 

I bought two converter boxes at Radio Shack and they work out just fine. The boxes do not use those wall-warts, so they can not be used in the car.Set-up was very easy, but I can see where a non-technical person will get confused if a instruction does not make any sense.
