The Digital Television (DTV) Coupon Program Handbook

The government is offering $40 subsidy coupons during 2008 and 2009 to help consumers buy converter boxes to allow older analog television sets to receive the new digital television broadcasts coming in 2009. This book is a one-stop answer source for libraries, broadcasters, volunteer/community groups and other organizations that pulls together information from web pages, press releases, brochures and reports into a book of answers to consumer questions. For example: How do consumers apply for the $40 coupons by phone, web, mail and fax? (pp. 41-48) Which households are eligible?
