The National Telecommunications & Information Administration called a press conference for Tuesday morning to announce a DTV transition update, but the National Association of Broadcasters may have beaten it to the punch.

According to NAB's own latest DTV update, TV households can now reapply for expired digital-to-analog converter boxes, up to two per household, to replace ones that expired. They can apply online at www.dtv2009.gov/ApplyCoupon.aspx or call 1-888-DTV-2009. NTIA oversees the coupon box subsidy program. Over 17 million coupons have expired.

I'll let someone else apply for the ones we could not find when we wanted to use them. It was one of those things we put away so we would have them when we needed them. So we got permission from some relatives who didn't want them and got theirs.
