Well, my wife bought an HDTV monitor a couple of days ago on sale even though I was really going to wait a bit longer. I am surprised by that!
Anyway, now I need a DTV over the air receiver (I am still too cheap for cable /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif). Reading around a bit, and found some good reviews for the Humax HFA100. It was also one of the least expensive at around $200 to $240 dollars.
There was also the Samsung SIR-T451 which look OK at a few tens of dollars more. However, the Humax seemed to have a faster processor and people found the 7-day onscreen program guide easier to use than the Samsung because of this.
Both have Component Video, S-Video, and composite video outputs and should work fine with standard TV sets.
The Samsung has DVI and (if I understand correctly) would need a simple adapter to connect to HDMI.
The Humax has a VGA-RGB output (use your computer monitor to start?) and HDMI (can use adapter to DVI).
Surprisingly, I can't seem to find any local stores that carry any simple DTV over-the-air receivers. They do, sometimes, have a few multi-function units (Satellite-DTV, etc.) but I don't need or want that for now.
So it appears it is off to Internet shopping for me (hence the reason for being up so late).
