There are SEVERAL HDTV set top tuners out there that will pipe the

Really? Could I have a model number and manufacturer?

US Digital. WalMart. Made by Hisense, model DB-2010. ($200) Broadcast
only, NOT capable of the cable format. Ready for a single antenna,
multi-channel subscriber reception planned for the future in some cities.

Every source I've
seen says that to date there is absolutely no such thing in existence,
and is pessimistic about the appearance of such before the deadline
and/or at a price anywhere near the ridiculously low projections for
price of such items.

It has been out for over two years now, and it looks amazing on an old
standard set, not to mention on an actual HD set.

Broadcast digital reception is flawless, and should be the standard...
Oooops... to late... It is!

It has component out and composite, and SVHS.

Two channel audio only.

Great reception with either a standard set top antenna or a
preamplified unit, not to mention a rooftop job.

The "several" remark was just an assumption, but one would think that
others would include such a feature in their units.
