Consumer Electronics Association President Gary Shapiro said Thursday that he thought the government should give viewers more time to cash in their digital-TV-to-analog converter-box coupons. Shapiro said there was a growing consensus that viewers should be allowed to reapply for the coupons being handed out by the government toward the purchase of the converter boxes, which will allow viewers with analog-only sets not hooked to cable or satellite to still see full-power TV-station signals after Feb. 17, 2009.
