More Digital Convertor Box Coupons Available
Published: March 5, 2009
NEW YORK (AP) - The agency that mails out coupons for digital TV
converter boxes has received fresh funding from the economic
stimulus program.
It expects to eliminate its coupon wait list in two and a half
weeks.
The fund that pays for the $40 coupons reached its spending
limit in early January. The National Telecommunications and
Information Administration was still able to mail out coupons, but
only as old ones expired. It’s accumulated a wait list of 2.3
million households.
The NTIA also expects to change its rules so that people who
received coupons before but let them expire can now apply for new
ones.

I have 2 coupons but the dates have expired. Is there a way I can get 2 more in exchange for the expired ones?
