If you expect to receive over the air digital broadcast I would wait. I
purchased a Sanyo DS24425 SDTV. It worked well with the comcast cable
plugged in the "digital" coax port (about 10 channels) but my attempt
to receive over the air digital broadcast via antenna was fruitless.
The TV stations are probably using very low power for digital broadcast
(and probably will never put the money into this because of cable and
satellite). I couldn't even get the very nearby station which I can
receive the NTSC broadcast without an antenna and crystal clear with
simple rabbit ears.

According to the specifications for that model, it does not have an ATSC
tuner and cannot receive OTA digital transmissions.
