A government program said Friday that it will begin sending out coupons Tuesday worth $40 each to any U.S. household that requests them to subsidize buying a box. Each household is entitled to two coupons for the boxes, which are just coming into stores now, start at $40 or $50, making this option easy and practically free. The government says it has funds for 33 million coupons. To get one, go to http://www.dtv2009.gov. or call 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888-388-2009).

"in the US it's free. Not everything is worse in the US... "

Ah...but when the government gives you something, it's never for free. It's already been paid for by all your neighbors. Though a US resident, I won't be signing up for the coupon. I'm just one of the neighbors
