Free Money from the Government
Written by admin on May 12, 2008Welcome back!
Loads of attention is being heaped on the economic stimulus checks heading our way. The media is mostly ignoring another method of the government throwing money at us. I’m talking about the Digital TV transition. Starting next year, old TV’s won’t be able to pick up signals anymore and will need a converter box to pick up the new HDTV channels. To help defray the costs, the government has seen fit to give us each $80, in two gift cards of $40, to buy new converter boxes. Wal-mart has the boxes for $50. So, for $10 you get digital quality TV on your old dinosaur of a TV. Not a bad deal. Be sure to sign up in a spouses name too, so you get more cards. Most house have more than 2 tv’s anyway. Check out the government’s website for more information.
