FreeDTVShop Sells All Coupon-Eligible Converter Boxes, Provides Awesome How-To Resources

fdtvAd_160_240.gifWith 329 days left until analog television signals are switched off forever, you still have plenty of time to prepare for the digital television transition. We'd like to claim that we're the best resource on the web for everything you need to make sure you're not watching "snow" come February 18, 2009, but the truth is that there are plenty of other great resources out there as well.

According to recent research by Frank N. Magid Associates, 6 out of 10 Americans are now aware of the 2009 digital television transition. That means 4 out of 10 Americans don't even know it's going to happen, and likely more than four aren't completely prepared. In comes the newest site dedicated to DTV2009-FreeDTVShop.com.

A creation of Mosquito Productions, FreeDTVShop.com contains the largest selection of government-approved, coupon-eligible converter boxes around. Owner John Buchman says that "it shouldn't be a chore for TV viewers to track down coupon-eligible
converter boxes" resulting in his decision to put them all in one place.

The site is probably one of the most detailed of all the available web resources as well, offering tutorials showing customers how to hook up converter boxes to all types of older TV's and showing customers what their onscreen displays will look like once they have their digital receivers all connected.

FC_support logo.jpgWhile Buchmann has developed a great business model that's almost guaranteed to generate profits, it's important to note that 10% of all profits from converter box sales will go to New York's Freedom Calls Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to providing soldiers with the necessary technology to keep in contact with their families. Says Buchmann, "Everyone who purchases a coupon-eligible DTV converter box from FreeDTVShop.com will not just be getting a good deal on the equipment they'll need to keep their TV functioning after February 17th, they'll also be helping a military family to remain close in spite of the distance separating them."
