Government is offering TV converter coupons
Viewers advised to wait until digital units are out

Via a toll-free hot line and Web site, the Commerce Department will begin accepting applications for coupons worth $40 off a no-frills converter box to allow older televisions to receive digital broadcast signals.
"We are open for business Jan. 1," said Bart Forbes, a spokesman for the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the Commerce Department agency running the program.
The $1.5 billion program is designed to help ease the major change coming Feb. 17, 2009. That's when broadcast TV stations turn off their analog signals and start transmitting only in digital.
The program - the biggest change in broadcast TV since the advent of color - will free up valuable airwaves for public safety agencies and for new wireless phone and Internet services. It will also deliver clearer pictures and additional broadcast channels for people who don't have pay TV service.
But some TV sets might have trouble making the technological leap. Ones without a built-in digital tuner will no longer be able to receive over-the-air signals unless they obtain a special box to change the signals back to analog.
Those boxes are expected to be available starting in February at more than 14,000 government-certified retail outlets, including Best Buy, Circuit City, RadioShack, Sears, Target and Wal-Mart. They cost $59.95 to $69.95.
Satellite and cable customers won't need converter boxes for TVs they have hooked up to those systems. But there are as many as 26 million households in the United States that only receive over-the-air TV - and millions more that may want the option during emergencies or power outages when cable and satellite transmissions are down.
That's the reason Eric Matsuoka, 58, of Montebello, Calif., plans to obtain a converter box coupon even though he has cable service.
"I'm going to apply definitely, for backup," he said. "You're not thinking of just your immediate comfort zone, just watching television - you've got to think in case something happens."
The telecommunications agency has contracted with International Business Machines Corp. to run the program. They have set up a toll-free number, 888-DTV-2009, which is staffed by live operators who can take requests in English, Spanish, Vietnamese and four other languages. Applications can also be filled out online at www.dtv2009.gov.
Each household is eligible for two coupons, regardless of whether it has cable or satellite service. After the first $890 million worth of coupons are distributed, the federal government will allocate an additional $450 million in coupons, but only to households that rely on over-the-air signals. The rest of the program's $1.5 billion price tag is for administrative costs.
While there is enough money for 33.5 million coupons, the National Association of Broadcasters has estimated there are as many as 70 million TVs hooked up to antennas, including extra sets in homes with cable or satellite. Many of those sets can receive only analog signals, although sales of high-definition TVs, which include digital tuners, have soared in the past two years.
The federal law that mandates the digital conversion required NTIA to start offering coupons Jan. 1. But officials are urging people to wait before applying. The coupons will expire 90 days after they are issued to assure they don't go unused.
"We want to make sure that folks have the time to go in and redeem the coupon during that time period," Forbes said. He urged people to check their local stores and see what boxes are available before applying.
The agency has certified 11 brands of converter boxes from eight manufacturers, including Zenith and Magnavox, as eligible for the program. To keep the cost down, the government is certifying only boxes with limited capabilities, not with other functions such as digital video recorders or DVD players. The NTIA won't mail out the coupons until the boxes are in stores, Forbes said.
The NTIA is planning to start a public awareness campaign in mid-February, one year before the broadcasters switch off their signals and around the time some of the converter boxes will be available.
The National Association of Broadcasters, which has been running ads as part of a $698 million public education campaign, will launch new ones next month promoting the coupon program, said Shermaze Ingram, a spokeswoman for the group.
"We're integrating the converter box coupon program into everything we're doing," she said.
The coupon program is a major part of the government's transition to digital television. But many members of Congress have criticized the Bush administration's handling of it.
The Government Accountability Office said in November that there was "no comprehensive plan or strategy to measure progress and results" of the transition.
A poll this fall by the Association of Public Television Stations found that although public awareness about the digital TV transition was improving, 51 percent still had no idea it was happening.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I just wanted to share a letter I received today about another example of great Trademark Customer Service. I wanted to thank "The Brians" for their efforts and look forward to receiving many more of these emails from all of your customers. After reading the letter from Mrs. Beth W, where do you think her friends will shop??
Great Job!!!

Subject: Hunt Valley service
Dear Mr. Curt K:
My family recently built a new home, and I had to tell you how helpful "The Brians" in the Hunt Valley store were as we selected gallons and gallons and gallons of paint for the exterior and interior of our house. The store was newly opened and just in time for us. We built in Monkton and the Hunt Valley location was much more convenient than the Timonium store. And the service was excellent.
It can be really overwhelming to choose colors for that many rooms at one time (mostly over a three week period), and Brian S. and Brian K. could not have been more helpful. I would purchase test quart after test quart and come back for gallons. They did color matches, custom mixes and stain samples and pulled formulas from other companies. I would often call ahead and my paint would be ready. They even gave me a few extra minutes as they closed up on a day when I was struggling to make it in traffic, and the painter needed the paint first thing the next morning.
So often managers just hear the complaints. I asked for your email because I wanted you to know how pleased we were with their service. They form a great team and Sherwin-Williams is fortunate to have them in Hunt Valley -- and I was too!
Sincerely,
Beth W

strange politics
i was watching the daily show and the colbert report with my parents. yes, my parents. and i am having difficulty deciding what was stranger.
my mother not knowing tony snow was bushs formal press secretary.
or
my parents finding out who dennis kucinich is via the colbert interview.

Re: [BAD SIGNAL] Friday
i think that gore has achieved enough vindication that he will not throw his hat into the ring. i do agree it would be a cf if he did, yet i think he knows it. at least i hope he is rational enough not to go for it. at this point i wouldnt mind seeing him as an adviser or cabinet member if the dems take the white house. hopefully dean can orchestrate this. too bad kucinich doesnt have a shot.
ron paul is the only decent gop nominee. but he doesnt have a chance. i hope giuliani gets the nod because any of the democratic front runners will destroy him. he is such a week candidate with a bad political record.
then again, i expected kerry to handily beat bush in 04.
leaving nothing to chance it looks like i will travel to canvas for clinton in a contested state this election season.

WARREN ELLIS
So Al Gore wins the Nobel Peace
Prize. And, sure enough, people have
started to clamour for him to run
for President again, presumably on
the notion that Gore has now
transformed into President Bartlet
from WEST WING.
What happens if he loses his mind
and runs? I think he probably takes
out Obama straight off the bat, and
it becomes Gore vs Clinton for the
nomination. And that turns into a
nasty fight. Gore bevels away a bit
of Clinton's base. Bill will counsel
her to go to the left, her instinct
will be to go to the right, and it'll
turn out that Al Gore is still Al Gore
and his political instinct was always
right of Democratic centre, and
the Convention turns into the sort
of chaotic, shambolic hobo-fight-
with-blunt-butter-knives that the
party was desperately trying to
avoid but almost always ends up in.
Whoever wins will be bleeding right
from the start, and the usual
smooth and regimented Republican
convention will turn out its usual
smooth nomination.
Actually, that latter isn't guaranteed
this year. But the GOP is very good
at the nomination palaver, in general.
Does a Clinton/Guiliani race put
New York state into play?
The GOP side is still interesting. Fred
Thompson doesn't get the nom.
McCain turned into a punchline a
ways back. Guiliani has potential
trouble on both his right and left
flanks, but no candidate so far has
really put the knife in to either of
them, which I find interesting.
What do you think?

fear and blame
a person gets scarred even though they wont admit it. a person will make bad choices for themselves because they think it is an easier road, but its not in the long run. most are afraid of anything beyond what they know. i blame our education system and our media. if we spent half as much money on education as we have in iraq we would be on the start to something great. then the media would have to shape up because the EDUCATED masses would be more critical and demanding.

911 myths
i have recently watched a documentary which clams the september 11th attacks on dc and nyc were planned, orchestrated, and covered-up by the us government. now, i already hold a severe distrust for our elected men and women. democrat or republican i think most of them are assholes. [although, in my book, the neo-conservatives currently hold the trophy for being the biggest, fattest, lying pricks] that being said i am very susceptible to evidence of more lies coming from the current administration.
internet research is a wonderful thing as it has helped me put certain fears to rest.
claim: the pentagon could not have been struck by a jetliner as there is little to no debris:
The size of debris from a jetliner crash is highly dependent on the nature of the crash. Whereas a plane that skids and bounces on the ground will likely survive in one or more large pieces, one that flies directly into the ground will not
