See the link below for a picture of the Tivax LX1000 STB.
Here's a description of what it can do:

■ Decodes all 36 ATSC DTV standard video formats.
■ Selectable output video formats: 1080i, 720, 480p or 480i

■ Component output (YPbPr): 1080i,720,480p or 480i
■ Composite output (CVBS): 480i
■ S-Video output: 480i
■ Digital video output HDMI support: 1080i,720,480p Audio Audio
■ 2 Channel analog L/R output
■ Digital audio output: SPDIF (AC3 or PCM)
Other

It says HDMI, but I can see no HDMI output in the picture of the rear panel. All other outputs seem to be there. Also, don't forget there's a $40 rebate -- up to 2 per household -- available from the Feds.
