Fortunately, the TV Converter Box Coupon Program is available to offset the cost of a converter box.  You can apply online or by phone by calling 1-888-388-2009, or you can download the application and mail or fax it in.  The supply of coupons is limited, plus there may be a delay in getting a coupon.  Read this article for details.  If you are wondering which converter box you should choose, check out this TV Converter Box Reviews, Ratings, and Comparisons Web site.

If you will rely on an antenna to receive the digital signal, you may improve your reception with the proper antenna.  Find out the best antenna for you at AntennaWeb.org.
