WASHINGTON — The government wants to expand a coupon program meant to ease the transition to digital television broadcasting to cover nursing home residents and users of post office boxes.
After Feb. 17, 2009, all full-power TV stations in the U.S. are required to stop broadcasting the old analog signal. Anyone who gets programming through an antenna and does not have a newer- model digital TV will need to buy a box that converts the digital signal to analog.
