I got my two $40 coupons, and ended up getting one each of the two $50 converter boxes available at walmart. One of the boxes is a RCA built unit, and the other is Magnavox.
After a couple of days of testing the Magnavox one went back as it just wasn't as effective at tuning in the channels, as well as the remote that came with it not controlling the volume on the TV.
The RCA one, however, was great. It controlled the power on the TV and the converter box, had great reception, nicely designed menus, and a program guide to boot. After returning the magnavox one, we got a second RCA one.
So two old TVs feel like new for only $20 total after the coupons.
