Our non-profit, the Urban Progressive Foundation has been actively working with seniors and other groups to provide straight, clear and understandable information to help them through the transition.
Later this week, I will be traveling to Wilmington, North Carolina, where the first full blown transition test-run will commence. If you can’t make the trip, allow me to be your eyes and ears. Visit my blog http://digitaldynamo.blogspot.com/ and website http://www.transition2DTV.com for more information.

We have a single cable feed from Comcast which is amplified and distributed throughout the house. We cannot determine if we need 240 digital converter boxes for our analog TVs or if we should apply for 240 coupons for converter boxes. I’m sure we aren’t the only facility with this dilemma, but the confusion is problematic and Comcast provides no information that will help.

I ordered my 2 coupons from it. http://www.digitalconverterbox.org

That does clarify things. As Jon also pointed out, it seems I was inaccurately comparing the DTV transition of analog (over-the-air) television with the situations in MI and FL.

I agree the hearing on the 29th will be an important one to pay attention to. Hopefully it will help make things even clearer.
