    Yes, you can use each card for seperate converter boxes. I just got a basic GE one that they offered at target and im completely satisfied with it. I receive about 13 channels.

    You are allowed 1 purchase per coupon. If you are making a purchase on the internet, make sure the item is in stock. Once you enter the coupon #, it is considered "used". If there are none in stock, you are stuck waiting for that site to restock. As we get closer to June 12th, stock everywhere is becoming scarce.

    I have the Zenith DTT901 box. It is also manufactured under the "Insignia" name. It was very easy to set up, and I haven't had any problems with it. The box got very good reviews on Amazon, however it is currently out of stock. Make sure you look @ the expiration dates. Some sites will only accept coupons until the day before they expire.

    You can look on the internet for the specs on these other boxes you mentioned.

    I'd get the Insigina box from Best Buy, it is one of the better convertor boxes.
