QUOTE The Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) said it is setting aside $990 million to pay for the boxes. Each home can request up to two $40 coupons for a digital-to-analog converter box, which consumer electronics makers such as RCA and LG plan to produce. Prices for the box have not been determined, but industry and consumer groups have estimated they will run $50 to $75 each. Not that I'm against the transition from analog to digital, but aren't there better things for the federal government to spend $990 million on? -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

Probably the cheapest way they can free up bandwidth and not get bitched by people not being able to afford new tv's.
