Why aren't the UK doing this, I have to buy my own freeview box, what kind of a world is that, where you exchange money for goods and services, outrageous.]]>Jan 1st 2008 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/Jan 1st 2008 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/
Good point. The real secret is America has likely been one of the Most socialist counties on the planet. I don't think that is all bad. It's a real eye openner when I found that so call socialist counties like France required school children to pay for text books in School.

Try doing that in America and your will have a second revolution. We have a massive safety net including TV decoder boxes for the masses. Unlike UK we don't have a TV tax!!! Do you guys still have to hide you sets behind closed doors?

Granted our health "payment" system is weird but almost everyone will receive massive cutting edge medical care. You may go broke but receive you will. Sort of a special socialist/market system only the land of fruit and nut cases can come up with.

I still recall a guy from the UK standing at the highway bathroom/rest stop near the Chicago airport and was marveling at the structure which exceeds in size the largest castle of nobility in the UK. As it spanned 15 lanes of highway, many restaurants, spotless bathrooms all "free". Never saw 1 reststop on the M25 and sorry to say my wifes bladder was not happy.

Just having some fun....

"Coupons expire 90 days after they are mailed. Each coupon has an expiration date printed on it."

So, now might not be the best time to get one, unless you plan on using it right now. I'm sure retailers will have a lot more choices and bigger selections 6 months from now when the public gets informed and races to the store to buy converters.]]>Jan 1st 2008 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/
This comes up after requesting them online. Sounds to me like the coupons can be requested now, and will not actually be issued until supply of the boxes is ready - so you will still have roughly 90 days to use it. I had the same concern you did until the above message came up.]]>Jan 1st 2008 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/Jan 1st 2008 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/Jan 1st 2008 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha]]>Jan 2nd 2008 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/Jan 1st 2008 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/Jan 1st 2008 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/Jan 2nd 2008 2:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/
That is why I only ordered 1 coupon now in case they run out of the 22.25 million coupons (It doesn't sound like a lot to me) and if anything 6 months from now I'll order the second coupon and get a nicer box if there are any. I'll probably end up using them both at some point anyway. Living in Florida every time theres a Hurricane I don't get cable for weeks even though the power comes back up.

"Consumers who apply at the beginning of 2008 will receive their coupons when TV converter boxes are expected to be available in retail stores, probably in late February or early March."

So I guess it is okay to get them now.]]>Jan 1st 2008 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/did-you-apply-for-your-tv-converter-box-coupons-yet/
