The digital TV transition might be
confusing sales clerks nationwide, but if there's anything that most people understand, it's cold, hard cash -- and if you
applied for one of the FCC's
switchover coupons, you might want to start checking that mailbox: the $40 vouchers are being mailed out soon. 9,700 stores are already set to accept the coupon for
approved digital TV tuners next week, with another 7,000 to come online in the next few months. Of course, only over-the-air television viewers are affected -- cable and satellite customers will continue to
be swindled mercilessly by Comcast get TV with no disruption at all when analog broadcasts are switched off in 2009.
