The GE 22730 is a DTV converter that allows analog TVs to watch digital channels. On February 17th, 2009, all TV in the U.S. goes digital-only, at which point anyone who has an analog TV and receives TV through an antennae wil require a DTV converter to continue to watch broadcast TV. 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

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.
