Re: Reviews of HDTV Set Top Boxes... or experiences...

I have the Samsung SIR-T151 HDTV tuner. The tuner is antenna only! It works great right out of the box. I put up two TV antennas, one facing north towards San Francisco, for most of the local stations, and one south for one more station. My TV is a 60" Mitsubishi. What I saw was that in the 1080i mode I didn't like the formats I had, so I went to 480P and there it was OK. I later did a few mods to the power supply of the tuner just because I can never leave anything alone. That helped. I can see that when the tuner shows the channel number it says TV-(channel number). Now that all shows as little sq blocks, whereas before it was kind of fuzzy. The tuner shows more like what you see on a plasma TV, more glossy look to it. I can wait for the time when all the stations in my area are real HD. Good Luck, bobwire
