Which will be worse, the impending shift to all-digital TV or the impending pole shift that’ll wipe out most, if not all, life on Earth as we know it? Both are coming soon and both are causing people to panic, although the TV one is causing more panic thanks to the nonsensical commercials, non-stop news coverage, and the thought of not being able to watch TV.
The government attempts to quell everyone’s TV fears by offering $40 coupons good towards analog-to-digital converter boxes. And guess what? CompUSA just happens to be selling a converter box for $40.01 – what luck!
You can get the box here, your coupons here, and read our transition guide here. I’ll let you read up on the pole shift stuff yourself. This is a gadget blog, after all.

Even I know that $0.01 + shipping != free. :-P
You can get a real free digital converter box by following the directions here: http://wesleytech.com/free-digital-tv-converter-boxes/833/
Free shipping and no tax! This is assuming that the DTV government coupons are still be handed out or will be handed out again in the future.
I’ll let you read up on the pole shift stuff yourself.

The dtv2009.gov website says I can’t get a coupon because they ran out of program funding!

This is the lowest-rated box on the market. That’s the reason it’s almost free.
