do  you have a small button with DTV/TV above or below it? If so it is
a  digital TV. 
> The letters DTV should also be on the television somewhere on  the
front. And if you still have your manual it will definitely tell you 
in it if it is digital. It would have also been on the box it came in
but I doubt you still have that. Just look for the letters DTV on the
remote,  TV and/or in the manual.

Carol responds:

Oh, dear. I got taken, then. Mine was about the same price and is a
flat-screen with a good picture, but neither the TV itself nor the
remote nor the box (I keep everything!) says anything about DTV or
digital. (I can't find the owner's manual, oddly, but I'm sure it's in
the drawer with all the others, FWIW.

Oh, well. I'll apply for the coupon just n case I decide to buying the
converter box and an indoor antenna and give up cable. If only I'd
known what I was doing when I bought that TV!

Carol, thanking Sandy very much for the information
