I have two of the cards and got ready to use them. I assumed they would be
good until Feb 19th but no, they expired on Jan 15th and I can't get new
ones and expire date can't be changed. Whose dumb A#? idea was this using an
expiration date..Way to go "Dept of Commerce"


How about "Way to go, poppa42"?

I would respectfully submit that it was *WIDELY* publicized that the
cards are good for 90 days FROM THE DATE THE GOVERNMENT SENDS THEM. Just
because you "assumed" doesn't make it so, nor is it a reason to blame
others for -your- mistake. * :-(


D'Oh ! -if- By-Law the US Congress Extends the
Analog TV Turn-Off Date : Then By-Law that same
US Congress should 'automaticially' Extend the
Good-to-Date of the HDTV Converter Box Cards.
