Here’s the latest from EZ Digital TV:
Several
new coupon-eligible converter
boxes (CECBs) were
added to the NTIA list last month bringing the total to 82. We are
working with
a great online
retailer who is selling 20 different boxes and you can use
your
coupons!
The
big news is that the EchoStar
TR-40 converter box has
been redesigned and will be sold as the DTVPal.
It is the only box that we know of that will have a (VCR)
Event
Timer. It will also have analog
pass-through and a 7 day Electronic Programming
Guide (EPG)
The
DISH
Network DTVPal was added to the NTIA list and will
be available mid-June. The price will be $40, so if you use your
coupon, it
will be free!
A
lot of people have been asking about pre-ordering the box
because their coupons are expiring. Unfortunately, the answer to this
is no. We
are going to miss out too because our coupons expire at the end of May.

Manufacturers continue to contact us with information about their
converter boxes. We update our pages with new information as it becomes
available. We have product features and specifications on most of the
CECBs and we are working to gather information on the rest.
Our CECB
comparison chart has been updated too.
Watch
our site for information on how to use a converter box
with a portable TV in your, RV, car or boat.
