Sec Gutierrez Urges Action in the Three Months Before Digital Transition Conclusion

No, really, you gotta do something. "Three months from today, all households using antennas with analog TVs will be impacted by the switch to digital broadcast," Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez said Monday. "This upcoming switch requires immediate attention by those households. If they don't act soon, they will find themselves without access to television. We are very pleased with the high level of consumer participation in the TV Converter Box Coupon Program, but there are still many who need to take action in order to be prepared for the transition. We urge them to act immediately by applying for a converter box coupon. The Coupon Program has been a success so far, largely because of the collaborative efforts of more than 300 national partners in the broadcast and consumer electronics industries, converter manufacturers, retailers, non-profits, and the federal government."
