I requested two and heard nothing either.

Either way, that just ain't right! Hope they straighten this out for you...

I just went ahead and got the Insignia box to use in the barn and paid full price...haven't got the coupons yet. I should have applied the first day I guess!
I am a complete convert to digital TV as viewed on analog CRT sets. The difference in the quality is unbelievable when comparing digital vs. analog reception with an indoor antenna. Even the best analog reception I got with an outdoor antenna and rotor is not as good as DTV. The signal strength indicator on the Insignia and on-screen guide, volume and remote control features are all a plus too.

When viewing the converted digital picture on an analog CRT set I don't see any of the pixellation or motion artifacts I have seen on flat panel sets.

Here is a video I made in the barn of the Insignia with a Zenith Chromacolor II console. The chromacolor II still needs a little work on the chroma as the color sync isn't always there but it behaved well for the video.

When did you apply? (Most people getting their coupons now applied on the first day of the program, 1/1/2008.) Also, have you been back to the Web site? You can check your status there.
