DTV Coupon Redemption Ends With Over $1 Billion Worth Unused

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration's digital-to-analog converter box coupon program has officially ended. November 9 was the last day that retailers could redeem the $40 coupons. Apparently, 30 million coupons -- worth $1.2 billion -- went unredeemed. NTIA mailed a little over 64 million coupons, according to final figures from Oct. 14, which means almost half of them were never redeemed or used.
