We've written about how to recycle your old TV, but what if you want to keep the vintage boob tube around?
Starting February 17, 2009, all U.S. television stations will start broadcasting only in digital signals. This means the old analog TVs -- yep, ones with rabbit ears -- won't work.
But over on Green Options, Jim Gunshinan points out that you can get an analog-to-digital converter for around $50. Better still, the government is offering coupons that will cover most of the cost.
You have until March 31, 2009, to request up to two coupons. Go to DTV 2009 to apply, and the coupons will be mailed to you.
If you have a working analog TV, this is a great way to keep it out of the garbage and reduce pollution. Plus, you'll save money. Thanks for the tip, Jim!

Parties and family gatherings mean more chances to catch up -- and catch a cold.
Aren't there some things that you just can't have too much of? Not really.
