HUMAX Digital ATSC TV Tuner for HDTV Reception
Economical Way To Experience Over-The-Air HDTV
If you have an \\"HDTV-ready\\" monitor/display, or like myself, a projection system (with RGBHV inputs) able to sync-up to 720p or 1080i), the HFA100 is a great product! Bought it for myself this Christmas (2005).  <br /> <br />Being a Hometheater fanatic for many years, I've always been interested in HDTV, but limited HDTV source material, and the cost of receiving that programming via DBS providers (who always had more HD channels) prevented me from taking the plunge. Until the HFA100 came to my attention.  <br /> <br />Now, with many more stations now broadcasting digital, for the relatively low price of the unit, and the cost of a Phillips amplified indoor antenna that I grabbed at a local Walmart, I receive all the local HDTV channels in central FL! I'd heard that the tuner was very sensitive, and since I only stay 3-5 miles from the broadcast television towers for the major network affiliates, I took the \\"indoor\\" antenna route.   <br /> <br />HDTV! For free to boot!  <br /> <br />What I like most about the HFA100 is <br />(1) RGB/VGA output (for those of us with analog-capable HDTV projection equipment) <br />(2) Both TOSlink and Coaxial Digital output connections <br />(3) A professional-looking EPG, which displays (provided by the broadcasters of course) what format the program material is being supplied as - 480i, 480p, 720p, or 1080i. <br />(4) Selectable output resolutions (same as in 3 above); showing on the panel display to boot. <br />(5) Selectable aspect ratio options. <br /> <br />Overall, an excellent product. The only thing I need now is for Humax to release an Over-The-Air HD Digital Video Recorder. <br /> <br />
