It’s the middle of the night & the government website is “too busy” to process. When is it NOT busy?

Hi, Jeff

I’m going through the same problem you are having right now. I tried to buy my converter box, but my coupons were already expired. I asked if there was any way I could receive two additional coupons since the ones I have was never used and I was told no. The coupons are only good for 90 days. The only two options I have as of now is 1)buy the boxes for full price,which can be expensive or 2)ask a relative who has satellite, cable etc. for their coupon. To answer your question…. to my knowledge there is NOT an appeal process to have the coupons reissued.

I received my two coupons, but had not been able to find the boxes in stores until recently. Now, the coupons are expired. Will I have to pay the full retail price? Or, is there some sort of appeal process to follow to have them reissued?

I have a 5 inch black & white portable tv (GPX SportX TV)that is about 2 years old. The TV was our life line during “Ike.” Will I be able to use this TV again in an emergency after the first of the year? Will a converter box be needed?

I requested my 2 coupons in march. They claim I should have gotten them in May. I never received anything in the mail and now they are telling me that they cant reissue the coupons……That totally sucks as now I cant get coupons and I saw that the converter boxes list for around $60 each. They gave me a request number and even that didnt help. The government is a ripoff as far as I’m concerned. They wont even help out a person who followed their rules and now they cant do anything to remedy the situation.

Hi Crystal,

I would recommend that you email the NTIA through their form at NTIA email and explain your situation.

If that does not work, you can call the Coupon Program toll-free 24-hour automated system 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888-388-2009) and try to reach a human.

You could also try to request an appeal by writing to: NTIA Coupon Program, PO Box 2000, Portland, OR 97208-2000.

As a last resort, you can contact your State Congressman and request assistance. They can be very helpful with these types of situations.
