I received the $40 coupon from the Govt. on Saturday for a digital receiver box. Bought it today. With the coupon is was $24.
The "coupon" was actually a plastic credit card type thing. Not a piece of paper. The coupon made of plastic, had a hologram, raised letters on the front with the expiratin date, magnetic strip on back. I was going to bitch about how much the coupon probably cost the govt. to produce. But not now.
Now my tv is like BASIC basic cable. For free. I get 12 channels. Maybe two more if I figure out how to adjust the antenna. The channels come in clear like they are cable tv.
It came with a remote. The remote controls both the tv (to turn it on) and the digital box. The box does the channel changing. The tv actually stays on channel 3.
Like a cable tv, there is a button that gives me information like the name of the show on. What's on next. etc.
The govt. did me a solid this week. Both with the coupon and making the tv stations go digital. Amazing.
My last journal entry was probably more interesting.
