DTV 2009: Best Buy To Have Analog-To-Digital Converter Boxes By February 18


Best Buy has announced that they will have analog-to-digital converter boxes on their shelves February 18 in the US, in preparation for next year's big digital TV switch when those with analog-only television sets not hooked up to cable or satellite service will need a converter to receive over-the-air signals.
917 stores in 49 states will carry the Insignia brand of converters, expected to be priced in the $50-$70 range. Wyoming residents, who don't have access to a Best Buy outlet in-state, will be able to get their hands on a converter box via a special 800 number.
Remember that all US households are eligible for two $40 coupons to be used for the purchase of analog-to-digital converter boxes through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration's TV Converter Box Coupon Program. You can apply for yours here or call 1-888-DTV-2009 to apply over the telephone.
