Government OKs Replacement of Expired DTV Coupons

It was announced today by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) that those with expired DTV Converter Box Coupons can request immediate replacements. As a result of funding authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the program’s waiting list for coupons has also been cleared.

According to the release:

“If an eligible household has redeemed one coupon toward the purchase of a TV converter box and the other coupon has expired, then it will be approved for a single replacement coupon. Consumers may apply for replacement coupons in accordance with existing program application rules by visiting www.DTV2009.gov, calling 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888-388-2009), mailing an application to P.O. Box 2000, Portland, OR 97208 or faxing an application to 1-877-DTV-4ME2 (1-877-388-4632). Deaf or hard of hearing callers may use 1-877-530-2634 (TTY).
