HDTV set-top converters

[dpantazis]

anyone have one? i am shopping around for a HDTV tuner 'appliance'

i do not want to spend $$$$ on a new TV. i do not have cable or satellite service. i want to watch the FREE over the air HDTV signals. aside from the news and the simpsons, i usually watch PBS- which here has 4 HDTV offerings.

does anyone have a HDTV receiver unit or DVR with a tuner in it? likes? dislikes?
advice?

i did apply for the $40 coupon from the gov't for a unit. still waiting for it, curious to see the terms and conditions.

I have not bought one yet but I have looked around to see what is available. I have cable at the house but need one for the 5th wheel. As of now, WalMart has the Magnavox and the RCA for 49.98 (10.00 after coupon card)

As for stipulations, can be used anywhere that takes them and for approved boxes.

Still looking to see which is the "best" one.
