Share Your DTV Coupons

Even if you don’t need the two free $40 government coupons that help defray the cost of TV converter boxes to prepare for the switch to digital television signals on Feb. 17, apply for them anyway. You can donate them to other individuals or institutions such as shelters.

Some public television stations, such as WOSU in central Ohio and Georgia Public Broadcasting, and local Area Agencies on Aging are coordinating donation drives.

Coupons expire 90 days after issue, so pass them on quickly. Apply online at www.DTV2009.gov or call 1-888-388-2009 toll-free.
