DTV coupon program to restart with new funds

NTIA Won't Immediately Gain Access To DTV Coupon Money [Multichannel News]

President Obama signed the economic stimulus bill yesterday, which contained $650 million in additional funding for the federal government's digital television converter box coupon program and consumer DTV education. Last month, the federal agency responsible for the program announced that it had run out of money, just weeks prior to the digital transition deadline. The program started a waiting list for the coupons, which now totals 4.2 million requests - nearly as many households as the number that remain unprepared for the digital transition.

While the additional funding will restart the coupon program, it may take a few weeks before coupons begin hitting mailboxes again. The lag time is due to the normal course of bureaucratic red tape that exists when a new appropriation is made by Congress. Still, the coupons won't be available to consumers in markets with stations that switched to digital television this morning - that was 641 stations by last count.

I'll be following digital transition news closely over the next few days as we find out how the transition is going in those markets that opted to go ahead with a February 17th digital switch. Mike posted a comment on this blog asking why I keep writing about this since our customers are already prepared.

How does this really affect people subscribing to Insight cable? If you have a cable box you're supposed to be set, right? I just fail to see how anyone using Insight's cable services would benefit from this knowledge, and those not subscribing wouldn't be checking here.

Great question.  Two reasons.  First, Insight customers who don't have all of their TV's hooked up to cable may not be prepared for the transition on the TV's that aren't.  Second, although this blog is primarily aimed at Insight customers, they are not the only readers.  I am also interested in reaching people all around the country who simply are interested in telecommunications issues.  Our readership research shows that people who read this blog come from everywhere imaginable.

This is the prophecy of Daniel ciomng to pass. You are watching it before your very eyes but are too blind to see it. The word Grecia in Hebrew means Yavan. The State of Israel is most likely Yavan. This will escalate into the Media/Persian vs Yavan war which is in Daniels prophecy in chapers 8 and 11. The ensamble was provided by Media Persia and Alexandar.The dome of the rock will come down at this time and the temple will be built in Jerusalem on temple mount. With the USA being moved toward socialists globalization with the UN, PES, and Socialists International, the timing is right for one world order, one world religion, one world government, to emerge. The fight between Israel and Iran will explode into this very globalization.

HD is a big rip-off and no improvement usnels you had no TV at all before. Nicer picture and sound ONLY if you buy into a signal provider.HD is only an improvement for adding channels, most of them duplicates of themselves or re-runs from earlier that day, etc. The signal is a higher frequency and very choppy you still need an antenna (my way) or to join the cable/satellite sets. The VHF and UHF are better for broadcast frequency that you can pick up at home. I'd rather have a snowy VHF picture and be able to hear the show, than to get a picture that freezes' or disappears if someone walks into the room, or if the cell phone rings, or if the Wi-Fi router signal is pulled' through the room to a computer anything and everything interrupts the pictures and sound, sometimes both at the same time. The higher frequency is interfered with easily. I can disrupt my neighbor's signal if i use a radio signal remote or hold my cell phone next to their window. There is a lot of medical research that has been done on the effects of higher frequency radio(TV) waves causing disruptions in our soft tissues and our brains. This is you, the consumer, bringing these high frequency devices into your home willingly, and you py for the privilege' of it. The waves are still an electro-magnetic field you are setting up in your homes to bombard your bodies with. Remember that the companies who manufacture these devices pay for the safety tests too. Tobacco was proven' safe or not unhealthy for about decades, as was DDT, etc. Health complaints later? Good luck getting any dampening of the fields for safety that would interfere with signal reception. It is your high frequency choice, my fellow consumers.
