To prevent consumers from having to run out and purchase new televisions, the government decided to give you two free coupons worth $40 each to offset the cost. To receive your coupons visit the government's “TV Converter Box Coupon Program” and fill out the form. Here is the link: Free Coupons
They use the USPS data base, so if you live in an isolated place and have to go to town for mail, you'll have to fill out an appeal form. I suppose the government can't know everything or even where everyone lives otherwise we wouldn't be in the big financial mess we're in now. You might as well get your $40 coupons because you're great grandchildren are paying for them along with the bank bailouts.
Ray Hoyal from San Clemente, California picked up a DTV converter box from Winegard.
He likes the RCDT09A model because it is small and fits nicely in his existing overhead electronics cabinet. He says he was able to connect it between the video switch box and the antenna so it works with both televisions in his coach.
The installation is straight forward and easy to accomplish. You'll spend more time figuring out where to place the box than connecting it. 
If you purchase two converters you'll be able to watch two different channels on two different TVs in your RV (usually one in the living room and one in the bedroom).You'll find the Winegard converter at this link: Winegard DTV converter

For those who purchased the converter and have two tvs, radio shack sells for 43.99 a wireless remote extender thereby you can change the channels from the bedroom rather than having to go to the front just to change channels. I seldom use the front TV and I can stay in the bedroom to watch and change channels.
