Still need a converter box?
You can still sign up here for $40 coupons that help cover the cost of buying a converter box.
The boxes allow people with older televisions who do not get cable service to see new digital broadcast signals.
The federal agency that had been sending out the coupons ran out of money in January. But thanks to a $650 million from the economic stimulus package, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration has begun mailing out coupons to those on a waiting list. 
Sign up for the coupons if you haven't already and even if you have received a coupon in the past but it expired before you could use it.

according to the web site you will need to wait if applying to replace a expired or lost coupon card

Hello! Keep checking back at that site, because they insist they will start issuing new cards to those with expired/lost cards ...
