[SBE] Ready to turn analog back on?

[JOHN TYLER]

I just got my converter box coupons yesterday.  They
list 34 models of converter box that are eligible for
purchase with the coupon, and only 3 of them are
capable of passing through analog.

For more info, they say check www.DTV2009.gov/lowpower
or www.NTIADTV.gov/cecb_list.cfm  By the time you read
this, I'm sure there'll be more changes.
