Deal: Converter Box for 1 Cent
CompUSA.com is offering a great DTV converter deal on the Apex DT502.
January 04, 2009 | by Rachel Cericola

For all of you scrounging store shelves for converter boxes… well, this one might not be easy to find either. See, the price is just a penny, assuming you still have one of the coveted government-issued converter coupons.

The model is the Apex DT502. It typically retails for $59.99, but CompUSA.com is trying to unload them with a $19.98 instant rebate. Add your $40 coupon (yes, it applies), and you’ll owe just 1 cent.

Don’t try to sneak in an expired one either. They aren’t falling for that. Just be aware that the sale price doesn’t include shipping costs. That takes the total up to $9, if you’re getting ground service.

Still, it’s a pretty sweet deal, especially if you are having a hard time finding a box and/or time to use your coupon. We’re guessing the offer is good until they run out of boxes.

Product features:

  • All-channel tuner 2-69
  • Display all DTV formats
  • Display all multicast channels
  • Display program information (PSIP)
  • Input: RF (F connector), Output: RF and composite (3 RCA plugs)
  • A remote control
  • Digital parental control
  • Closed-captioning
