You can still apply for the coupons. Your name will be put on a waiting list and as soon as the funds become available from the expired coupons, coupons will be sent to people on the list.:top:

Don't panic y'all, they have decided that the signal won't go fully-digital until June 12th (instead of the original date of Feb 17th)...so there's plenty of time to apply for the coupon...the waiting list works...my daugther was told she was too late and would be put on the waiting list if additional funding is received...she just recently got her coupon in the mail...didn't take that long at all...plus you can always go back to the site and check the status of your request...HTH !

Thank you very much OP. Missed this post originally as it was posted during my power outage from that ice storm. Happy to find it now as my coupons would have expired on Feb. 11.

By the way, the only one that was free with the coupon says the price is good until 2/17/09

Did anyone use two coupons, using the same name and mailing addy? I am doing this for my Dad, I already did one coupon, but wasn't sure if I could do 2. Thanks so much

DonnaWV, yes, you can do 2.

Just make sure you keep your coupons. I got a call and an email a couple days after placing my order. Even though the site accepted my coupon codes, the service agent stated that one code was invalid. I had already tossed it, so I couldn't try it again.

I don't know why they make those coupons with expiration dates, that is soooo aggravating. I had 2 and simply forgot then got them out and they were already expired.

Does anyone have a coupon code they don't need? We used ours and my mom needs another one for her tv on the sun porch. She had an extra one but gave it to a friend.
If you have a code you don't need pm it to me and the exp. date and also the 3 digit security code from the back, I'm going to try this link to send for the box through the mail.

Thanks in advance!!!!!!

Thanks to the original post also (nice find) !!!!!!!:star:

I did the same thing....I got them last year, forgot about them and found them about a month ago expired. I just emailed the company and told them I never got them. Because they were never used before the exp date, they sent me replacements w/no prob! I just ordered 2 converter boxes a few days ago (my mom had given me 2 cards a little while back and got 2 boxes already...we have 3 tv's so I will have a back up just in case) this 2nd set of boxes, I sent to my office ;)

For the people that have received this, how well does it work? I am just wondering if it is worth getting the free one, if it works as well as spending a few dollars on one? I know you can get them for like $12 at Walmart with the coupon. anu feedback on the performance of the free one would be greatly appreciated. I dont want to waste my coupons on free ones if that are not that good. thanks

If anyone has 1 or 2 coupons they don't need I'd love it if you can pm me the codes!

I have not tried the free one, that I got for my Dad, but I will say it looks very cheap. I had used a coupon to get a box from Wal Mart for my camper, and it works well. I hope someone here has used the free box, so we can get some feed back. I have not had time to get Dads hooked up yet.

Thanks for posting this! I finally got my coupons two weeks ago and ordered these last week and got them within a few days. We've had them hooked up for a couple of days and they work great! The channels are so clear and the colors look beautiful! It's also added a few more channels, and these boxes are small so they don't take up much space! Thanks again.

Are you using the boxes that were completely FREE ? Or did you opt for one where you had to pay a little extra ?

Hey thanks for this post! I just got my coupon in the mail today, and was able to order the converter with no problems. :) Oh by the way, I'm not new here, I used to go by Cowgirlie in Tennessee, I'm still around... just decided to change my nick and come here more often.

Yes these do come in fast.I got mine in less than a week.My question is does anyone know if I need a antenna to hook this up? I thought I heard that somewhere.As for whether to spend more money and get a better one I can tell you my bil and sil bought one for like 75.00 and they don't like it.She told me it was a pain to hook up and that it was constantly not working so they couldn't watch t.v., so it doesn't sound like money has anything to do with how well it works.

damnit I just looked at my coupon and it expired last week


If a coupon expires before it is used, can a consumer re-apply?

The Coupon Program is accepting applications from consumers whose coupons expired without being redeemed. The Coupon Program limits each U.S. household to a total of two redeemed coupons. Therefore, if you have redeemed one coupon toward the purchase of a TV converter box and the other has expired, you may request and be approved for one replacement coupon; if you have redeemed two coupons you will not be approved for additional coupons. Replacement coupons will only be issued to eligible households upon request. Consumers who wish to apply for a replacement coupon can do so at http://www.DTV2009.gov/ApplyCoupon.aspx, by calling 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888-388-2009), mailing an application to P.O. Box 2000, Portland, OR 97208 or faxing it to 1-877-DTV-4ME2 (1-877-388-4632). Deaf or hard of hearing callers may use 1-877-530-2634 (TTY).

I totally forgot about these. We're set to go already. Got one for my aunt. No problem at all. Didn't ask me for a credit card or anything. Glad to hear it does work.

Hopefully this will work on her t.v. She was robbed about 1 year ago and bought a television thru a going out of business place. Older television so I hope it works. Anyone know?????
