The coupon site makes it clear that the coupons will come by "standard mail, not first class." The postal service calls this "Presort Standard." The more common dexriptor is "junk mail."
They're paying a reduced postal rate which frees the US Postal Service from the responsibility to forward. I believe PO boxes, nursing homes and some other previously disallowed addresstypes were OK'd late in the game. 73, Paul, AE4KR ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Morris WA6ILQ To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2009 2:51 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] OT- Digital TV converter box issues At 09:30 AM 01/08/09, you wrote: >Hello Mike, > >Are you saying your address shows as invalid?.

My old adders is forwarded by the postal office. I had coupons sent there, but I never got them and according to the post office folks they can't forward them. Of course there may be a different reason that I didn't get them, and the PO guy is mistaken. The DTV web site back in August would not take a PO box. My new address was used by the former owners and the system won't send a second set of coupons to a different name. >However if your address is non existent you might ask a friend to >use theirs if they haven't ordered any Like I said, all of my friends are getting boxes using their addresses - they want the extra box for hacking purposes (nobody has a spare coupon). >and have them sent to your P.

Adding a extra letter (like changing apartment "12" to "12A" results in >The address you provided could not be found. > >The unit, suite, or apartment number for the address you provided is >missing or invalid. Please supply a valid unit, suite, or apartment >number and submit your application again. Physical locations have to be in their data base, and it's pretty accurate. However an email I received gave me a couple of additional options that I didn't know were available. I'm still looking for an "unused" address - someone local who not going to apply for any coupons - maybe he has purchased replacement TVs, or uses cable, etc.. >Larry - N7FM Mike WA6ILQ
