This deal is for Costco members only. Non-Costco members can still buy it online with a 5% surcharge which comes out to $75, however it's a better deal to just join at $50 for a year.

dtv2009.gov - $40 coupon for Analog to Digital TV Converter
(repost)

Next February, all television stations nationwide will stop broadcasting on analog frequencies and will only broadcast digital signals. The digital broadcasts are capable of carrying high definition video and surroundsound audio, but require some people to buy new equipment for their old TVs to work on the new signals. Most stations are already broadcasting in digital, but they are required to shut down their analog broadcasts in February, 2009.

To help people with indoor antennas ("rabbit ears") or rooftop antennas, the US government now offers a $40 coupon for a digital TV converter necessary for tuning the new signals on exising television equipment. The coupon is obtainable online or by calling 888-388-2009. The coupon is only for someone with old television equipment and:
- receives free TV over the air with an antenna, and wants to continue to get free TV, and
- does not want to buy a new television with built-in ATSC tuner before February 17, 2008, and
- does not want to pay for cable or satellite service.
If you have any of the following, then you will not be affected by the switch next February:
- Cable, Satellite, and Fiber service customers will be unaffected by this switch.
- Anyone with a "digital set top box" already receives a digital signal, and will be unaffected by this switch.
- HDTVs using a built-in ATSC tuner (for digital and HD over-the-air broadcasts) already receives digital signals and will continue to do so after February.
- HDTVs using their built-in QAM tuner, hooked directly into the cable jack on the wall will be unaffected by this switchover, since the signal is already digital.
Anyone thinking of buying an HDTV and wants to use it with free over-the-air channels using an indoor or outdoor antenna should make sure an "ATSC Tuner" is included in the specs of the HDTV.

Also, NTSC TV tuners on your PC used with over-the-air television signal will also stop working next February. Over the next 6 months there will be plenty of stores putting TV Tuner cards on sale, but avoid buying them unless they include ATSC or QAM tuners.
