If your DTV coupons have come in the mail and you’ve put them in a drawer for now, you might want to pull them out and make sure they haven’t expired.

DTV converter box coupons expire after 90 days.

 If your coupons expire, the government will not issue you another set.

If your coupons have expired, you do have some options:

1. If you only requested one DTV coupon, you are entitled to an additional coupon. Each household can get up to two. Log onto www.dtv2009.gov and request your second coupon.

2. If both coupons expired, you can ask a family member, friend, colleague, etc. that does not need coupons to request them for you. It is illegal to sell DTV coupons, but people are allowed to give their coupons away to others.

Be sure to check your expiration date and get your converter box as soon as possible. The sooner you install the box, the sooner you’ll know if there’s anything more you need to do to receive DTV.
