There was a news story on our local TV station about applying for the government coupons for the converter box even if you don't need them, then using them to purchase and donate it to charitable organizations. As the story pointed out...many low income families have antenna TV and can't afford the converter box. They most likely do not have access to the internet and would not know about the coupons. I just applied for two....it took about 2 minutes.
