What models do they carry?

I look forward to seeing the prices that stores put on the boxes after nobody has government vouchers. I suspect demand is falling quickly as it is.


alert mods    

they should have done this before...my vouchers expired waiting for a free one...probably pick one up cheap for 9.99 later on.

Seems to me, the guv'mint card I got expired on June the 30th 2000. Did pick-up the semi-free convertor box with antenna for $1.25 last month.

KWorld-Digital-ATSC-Tuner-Box is not avail in stores. Any retail stores carry this? Are the coupons coded for every box or is it cashier dependent?

Zenith DTT901 or Channel Master for everyday user (Not at Target though).

Those "TV Converter coupons" are actually $40 prepaid Mastercard cards.

Not endorsing...just saying, the can be used for anything at a store where you swipe a card.

Of course they ran out while back...the boyz in the hood stocked up on cigarettes and booze. $80 free (taxpayer funded) was abused 7 ways to Sunday.

The whole thing Digital TV conversion was handled horribly by the industy and gov't. And the "coupon" deal was just another gov't program to be abused.

.

only at stores that carry boxes?


alert mods    

I doubt this is true. Even if they are the cashier would see that you did not purchase the right thing

Target only carries 5 and of those only 2 show up as $40 the Apex and Venturer the GE is $59.99 and the 2 Kworld Digital are $99.99 & $119.99 So it is at least a misleading post

The weekly ad says in its B&M all DCBs they have in stock are $40, limited quantities, does not apply on-line, etc.

How can this be possible when you cannot even use the card for a converter box that is not on the government-approved list?

"Once the gov't find out"...guess what, they won't.

It's a misdemeanor at most, and they won't spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to chse after you.

Plus, they won't know unless Mastercard reports it, which they won't, because they want to get paid.

And of course, there is no proof you personally used it, as you could just say you threw them out and someone else must have used them (or that you never got them.)

Some may see this as a "tax refund"...you are paying for it, so you should get the benefit.
