The GE 22730 is eligible for a $40 government coupon, and includes a remote. It cannot interface with a GE Smart Antennae (sold separately) to lock in the best signal possible, however the GE Digital Converter 22729 does have this feature for $10 more.
Government Coupon
The. U.S. government has a coupon program in place that allows each household to get two $40 coupons that can be put towards a DTV converter, such as this one. Each household can get up to two coupons. Coupons must be ordered from the government at the DTV transition website. This coupon effectively makes the cost of this converter box $30, instead of $70.
