Re: TV REQUIREMENT
I suspect it will go down, due to competition from other boxes. Already it has 'gone down' (on sale) from $190 to $150.
A little bit of a pain to hook up, since it does not have 'F' connector(antenna) output. I had to find a 'RF Modulator' (rare these days) to be able to feed it into the entertainment center selection switch (as AUX). Finally found one which fits into a nook in the entertainment center at Best Buy, I think. Most places either don't carry them any more, or they are too big to cram into the entertainment center. Since I did not have a satellite box, I put the Digital Tuner in that section of the entertainment center.
In 'major' markets, I'd say at least 3/4 of the stations broadcast in digital, and many have multiple programs (usually standard program and a weather station). PBS usually has several, different programs. Out in the boonies, digital transmissions are few and far between (or it could just be my crappy omnidirectional antenna). :dead:
