CYBERSPACE (AP) - So, did you sign up for a coupon for a special
converter box so you can see digital TV without buying a new set?
If so, you might want to circle the date February 17th on your
calendar. That's when the Department of Commerce will begin
distributing the more than 4.4 million coupons that have been
requested so far. That same day, three major retailers (Best Buy,
Radio Shack and Wal-Mart) are expected to start selling the
converters. Full-power TV stations will stop broadcasting analog
signals a year from now. Anyone who doesn't own a digital
television set and still gets their programming over-the-air will
need to buy a box. Viewers who have satellite or cable service
won't need one.
