ATSC->NTSC converter box, with households able to request up to two such
vouchers.

There are converter boxes now available for <$100 -- I suspect that somewhere
a bunch of Asian engineers are working feverishly to cram enough silicon into
a single chip on a cheap enough process that they'll be able to bring up a
$39.99 retail converter box sometime in 2008 still.
