Converter box = SOL

Yahoo's reporting that if you don't have your DTV converter box coupons yet, don't hold your breath. The $1.34 billion Congress approved for the coupon program is gone daddy gone.

Now, on the other hand, a box is just $50, so it won't be the end of the world for most people. On the other, other hand, though, you gotta figure the people who need the converter boxes but haven't done anything about it yet are the ones most likely to balk at a the $50 price tag.

And can anyone tell me why my application got denied? The TV reporter can't even get a damn coupon. Hope y'all had better luck.
