<div>As the statement says, the coupons will expire 90 days from the date they are issues. Coupons are not being issued yet, I believe they are waiting until more converter boxes are available. Nonetheless, they should be issued sometime in February and converter boxes should be in stores shortly thereafter. At least one of the companies is willing to take a hit and sell the converter box for approximately $40 (so it won't cost consumers anything). I'm sorry, but I cannot find the story off hand that talked about it. I also think the company is banking on selling its higher end model converter boxes which do not qualify for the $40 rebate. And again, their $40 model does qualify.

<div>I honestly do not think it will be a problem finding them in the stores, but they just aren't there yet.<br><br></div>
