The digital TV transition campaign has begun. With a Feb. 18, 2009 deadline for complete transition to digital over-the-air broadcasting, Comcast has begun advertising around the subject, with a "we'll take care of" message.
Also,$40 government coupons will be available starting Jan. 2, 2008, to defray the cost of decoders that convert over-the-air digital signals back to analog television for display on analog-only TVs.
The decoder boxes are expected to cost between $50 and $70 and will be available at most major electronics retail stores. Starting Jan. 2, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration will begin accepting requests for two $40 coupons per household to be used toward the purchase of the boxes.
To request a coupon, consumers can apply online at http://www.dtv2009.gov. The government also has set up a 24-hour phone line to take requests, 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888-388-2009).
