They're pretty ubiquitous now. One problem with coupon boxes is they were intentionally limited in features. If you want more than basic stereo sound, or prefer an s-video port and/or component out, you want to spend a few more bucks on a non-CECB converter box.

I occasionally see a few converter boxes in thrift stores, $4.00 can't get much cheaper than that. I picked up a DSL modem for $1.98 and you can get handfuls of RJ-45 patch cables for 50 cents each. There's hidden gold in stuff people give away.
