TV going digital - rebate available? (2009, stations, ethnic)

[HoneyRyder]

Hi everybody,

I know TV in MA is going digital and you have to get a box to see it through the antenna for free..does anybody know what the number is to call to get a rebate for these boxes? And where do you get the boxes?

Thanks for the advice!!

It's a federal program - try this site; https://www.dtv2009.gov/

Thank you, that's what I was looking for.

When you do buy... get the box that can handle both digital and analog (or Digital with analog pass through.) There are only a couple on the market currently.

NOT all stations are converting to digital... especially the small ethnic, low power stations. With both, you will not loose some stations.
