Starting Tuesday, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration will begin accepting requests for two $40 coupons per household to be used toward the purchase of the boxes. <br /> <br />Viewers who have satellite or cable service will not need a box. <br /> <br />To request a coupon, consumers can apply online at <a href="http://www.dtv2009.gov." target="_blank">www.dtv2009.gov.</a> The government also has set up a 24-hour hotline to take requests, 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888-388-2009). <br /> <br />Congress, in ordering the transition to digital broadcasting, set aside $1.5 billion for the coupon program, which will fund 33.5 million coupons and other costs. <br /> <br />The giveaway basically works under the honor system. <br />... <br /><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/01/01/digital.tv.ap/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/01/01/digital.tv.ap/index.html</a></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
