I see you can get low-res TV's, Hi-Def TV's, and VCR/DVD combos at the
local Big Box Marts with digital receivers built in. In fact, they no
longer sell analog only TV's.

1. Do the digital receivers all function the same way or are there
different features/functions to be aware of? Any receiver brands that
are clearly better than others?

I can't answer the question but I'll be looking to acknowledged experts like
Doug Lung
(samples at http://www.tvtechnology.com/pages/s.0001/t.p0001.html) for
some hints.

Locally to this NG, Kirk Bayne is hot stuff in the info-gathering field. Is
a free plug OK?

My interest is in the so-called fifth-generation chipset from LG, tested a
few years ago and adjudged to be a significant improvement. I heard LG was
only going to put it in their own products, then I heard they would license
it. Heck, I don't know!
