I can't imagine getting the switch approved, though, if they weren't basically
given to people.  You're right.  Some just won't make the switch, but many more
wouldn't if they actually had to pay a heftier fee for it.  a) Converter box for
$20.  I don't want to spend that.  b) Converter box for $60.  Coupon for $40.
Wow!  That's a big discount and I have this coupon, so I may as well use it.

Bingo.  Closet, meet TV.  TV, closet.
