This is just great. The federal government offered folks $40 coupons for converters that will let them watch digital TV on their old televisions.
But the coupons expire before people can redeem them because there is a shortage of the converter boxes.
In fact, a congressional committee looking into the digital conversion found that of the 840,000 coupons that just expired, less than half of them had been redeemed.
Are stores near you carrying the converter boxes? Are people using their coupons?
