Very few DTV coupons redeemed – study

United States television broadcasts will become all digital early next year, but most consumers aren’t taking advantage of free government money to upgrade their old analog television sets. According to a study released by DisplaySearch/NPD, only 6% of consumers have redeemed their DTV coupons from the federal government. That means there will be an estimated 25 million television sets that will essentially be left in the dark after the digital switchover on February 17, 2009.

No just $40 off of a converter box.. Whoopie... personally no-one in my family cares as we aren't effected. But I guess it is useful if you have an old TV and are using cable or antenna to get your tv channels.

I think the big worry is that people don't use the coupons, they don't get the boxes, and then the day of the switchover, wham! "Hey, what's up with my TV?" despite all the messaging around this for months.
