  1. NC Department of Commerce on the DTV Converter Box Coupon Program
    The Coupon Program will receive coupon requests beginning January 1, 2008.
    Consumers will be able to apply for their coupons through a Web site, via a toll-free number, or by mail. Households will be able to apply for a maximum of two (2) coupons, each worth $40. Coupons will be mailed to eligible households and will expire after 90 days of issuance.
    Coupons will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis to all U.S. households until $890 million has been expended.  If these initial funds are exhausted, an additional $450 million will be made available to households that receive only over-the-air television service.

    Consumers may call toll free 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888-388-2009) in English and Spanish for updates.

    The hearing impaired may call the TTY number 1-877-530-2634 for information in English, and for information in Spanish, consumers can call TTY number 1-866-495-1161 for updates.
