I don't get it. Here we are less than a year and a half away from
analog turning off and hardly any selection of set top boxes. It
appears the few available are of the older generation tuner chipsets so
they suck. What's going on here? It appears there is the demand. I don't
want to update my TV to HD but I do want digital over the air. Is it
that the manufacturers are hoping people buy a new TV instead?
Tom, who wants a decent set top box for a decent price (<$175.)
All the new dvd recorders with ATSC tuners should have latest chipsets.
And you can buy one of them for under $175 and get a dvd recorder too.
Here's one for $140 bucks.
