Samsung SIR-T451 High Definition Terrestrial Tuner
Does the job.
I bought this more out of curiosity with the technology than anything else not being an avid tv watcher.  I have to say I'm impressed.  I tied this out on an 7 year old sony trintron crt and the image quality was awesome and that's not even using the full resolution of hdtv.  The image was far superior to my old cable provider, adelphia.  The best thing about this is once it's set up it's free. <br /> <br />Now having said that here are the drawbacks.  The T451 at $200+ is expensive although I gather if you look you can find bargains.   <br />My biggest complaint about this though is the signal strength feature.  You can only access it through a laborious several steps through the menu rather than access it from one button on the remote as you can some of the other features.  Also you can't scroll though channels while it's up.  Now while this may not be important for those of you in an area that has perfect reception, if you're in a marginal area you need to adjust your antenna to find the optimal angle.  Like I said it's only an issue if you're like me and you wnat to check it often.  My other beef is that you can't seem to permanently add stations but have to reremeber them everytime you do the channel scan. (I may be wrong on this)  This is possibly important because channels are not permanently up yet and you may want to run the scan process more than once and not want to drop channels that have already been added. <br /> <br />The pro's: a very easy set up menu.  easy to install, a slim design, handsome, nice features, optical audio, dvi,  etc. The program guide is easy to access and use. <br /> <br />my setup: an amplified hdtv terk indoor antenna attached to a 12'  monster coaxial cable.  This seems give great flexability to position the antenna, even put it out the window when I want optimal reception.  Right now at my location,BeveryHills, I'm getting cbs kcop and a few other channels.  ABC and NBC don't seem to be broadcasting at full signal strength yet.It's possible that I may need to switch to a roof top antenna to get them.  That's fine for me, but may not be for others.  I assume by 2006 they'll all be switched over.
