On Feb. 17, the nation's television broadcast system is scheduled to go all-digital, offering more enhanced images and doing away with older analog signals.
Thousands of converter boxes are being purchased by consumers only to have the same consumers purchase a brand new television. Why don't they have places designated for "used" converter boxes that are no longer needed?
Jonathan Collegio of the National Association of Broadcasters responds:
Check with your local charities, as some organizations are hosting coupon and converter box drives to help those in need. Most retailers will accept returns of unused or unopened converter boxes.
