Official DTV Converter Box Coupons for Americans

Ant writes "The official Digital Television/DTV Converter Box Coupon Program is now online. Congress created it for households wishing to keep using their analog TV sets and use over-the-air antennae to get TV feeds. After February 17, 2009. The Program allows American households to obtain up to two coupons, each worth $40, that can be applied toward the cost of eligible converter boxes. A TV connected to cable, satellite, or other pay TV service does not require a TV converter box from this program."

is it time to get real yet? A LOT of energy is being squandered in attempts to keep US in the dark. in the end (give or take a few 1000 years), the creators will prevail (world without end, etc...), as it has always been. the process of gaining yOUR release from the current hostage situation may not be what you might think it is. butt of course, most of US don't know, or care what a precarious/fatal situation we're in.

for example; the insidious attempts by the felonious corepirate nazi execrable to block the suns' light, interfering with a requirement (sunlight) for us to stay healthy/alive. it's likely not good for yOUR health/memories 'else they'd be bragging about it?

we're intending for the whoreabully deceptive (they'll do ANYTHING for a bit more monIE/power) felons to give up/fail even further, in attempting to control the 'weather', as well as a # of other things/events.

dictator style micro management has never worked (for very long). it's an illness. tie that with life0cidal aggression & softwar gangster style bullying, & what do we have? a greed/fear/ego based recipe for disaster.

meanwhile, you can help to stop the bleeding (loss of life & limb);

the bleeding must be stopped before any healing can begin. jailing a couple of corepirate nazi hired goons would send a clear message to the rest of the world from US. any truthful look at the 'scorecard' would reveal that we are a society in decline/deep doo-doo, despite all of the scriptdead pr ?firm? generated drum beating & flag waving propaganda that we are constantly bombarded with. is it time to get real yet? please consider carefully ALL of yOUR other 'options'.

the creators will prevail. as it has always been.

corepirate nazi execrable costs outweigh benefits
(Score:-)mynuts won, the king is a fink)
by ourselves on everyday 24/7

as there are no benefits, just more&more death/debt & disruption. fortunately there's an 'army' of light bringers, coming yOUR way.

the little ones/innocents must/will be protected. after the big flash, ALL of yOUR imaginary 'borders' may blur a bit? for each of the creators' innocents harmed in any way, there is a debt that must/will be repaid by you/us, as the perpetrators/minions of unprecedented evile, will not be available. 'vote' with (what's left in) yOUR wallet, & by your behaviors. help bring an end to unprecedented evile's manifestation through yOUR owned felonious corepirate nazi glowbull warmongering execrable. some of US should consider ourselves somewhat fortunate to be among those scheduled to survive after the big flash/implementation of the creators' wwwildly popular planet/population rescue initiative/mandate. it's right in the manual, 'world without end', etc....

as we all ?know?, change is inevitable, & denying/ignoring gravity, logic, morality, etc..., is only possible, on a temporary basis. concern about the course of events that will occur shoul

TV clearly is a holy thing for americans, as their government stoops down to socialism to ensure continued television zombiehood.

Well, that's in addition to the only three things that our government is currently subsidizing: the military, the high-fructose corn syrup producers/growers, and the labor costs for the high-tech companies. While this isn't perfect, it could be much worse.

I am sure in almost any other First/Second World country things are in fact much worse, and your govt also subsidizes your healthcare, your high school and college education, your low-tech and unskilled workers, your welfare bums, your media and TV companies, and so on.

See, there's a reason US of A is still number one.

Socialism? WTF are you smoking? We are the most socially backwards nation in the industrialized world!

Smoking? Ok, I know wht you're getting your Rush from. At any rate, since you apparently get all your news from the fox in the henhouse, you wouldn't know that there is no more Public Aid. The entitlement Aid to Families with Dependant Children (AFDC) was shut down under the Clinton (D) administration. We now have Transitional Assistance for Needy Familiues (TANF) which is NOT an entitlement and has a two year limit, five years in a lifetime.

You might also know that also unlike any other undustrial nation, we don't have universal health care. The politicians are pushing for it, but guess what? The insurance companies who are the leeches at the heart of our health care woes are still in the game under plans by both wings of the Republicrat party. The Republican wing wants tax incentives and the Democrat wing wants expanded dcoverage to the poor who are called "lower middle class".

Anyone who thinks the US is Socialist is nothing short of a Facist.

And more than enough time to do the switch... It's been planned for years, surely you've bought a new TV or two in that time?
Anyone who bought an analogue only TV in the last few years should contact me, I have some analogue cellphones and 386 PC's for sale.

The U.S. military/industrial complex retains its medium of propaganda at taxpayer expense, thereby excluding candidates that would challenge its power.

Re:Finally!

[jlarocco]

That doesn't change much. They could've cut taxes and let people spend their money on whatever they wanted.

I already have a digital TV, what good is one of these coupons?

don't under estimate the governments need to control everyone by taking away the analog signals.
