THE US GOVERNMENT PROGRAM that has provided $40 coupons for digital TV converter boxes is coming to an end.  This Friday will be the last day that the program accepts requests from consumers..

Full-power U.S. TV stations turned off their analog broadcasts on June 12. As of Wednesday, the government had sent out 63.4 million coupons, of which 33.8 million had been redeemed at a cost of $1.3 billion.

Households that still need the boxes to get digital signals to their TVs can order a coupon at http://www.dtv2009.gov or by calling 1-888-DTV-2009.  Each household can request two coupons.
