NO I bought converter boxes with my coupons. Right away too, and there's plenty of the boxes in St. Louis where I live. I've seen them at Target, Walmart, and Best Buy.

I picked them up because I'm just as entitled to them as the next guy. Blame the system if you would like, but don't blame me for having the sense to prepare my household to pick up public broadcasting after the switch. They're wired and ready for use, they're not just "sitting in my garage" like someone else suggested. I profitted zero from this, and cashed in on a government paid program.

It was a reality the second the first coupon was given away. Those smart enough to get in on in the last year are fine, now those who didn't are starting to whine. I don't even need my two, but picked them up anyways.

It's also a good idea to have the government know where you go everytime you drive your car. GO UNCLE SAM!

Yes, thanks. You must have earned your "A" by actually studying.
