[quote Jem]Okay... this may seem a silly question, but do any of the DTV Converter boxes that qualify for purchase with the $40 DTV coupon, allow you to "convert" for a standard CRT set OR allow for higher quality output via Component or other HD cabling on a HD-ready set.
It seems like most "converters" simply change the DTV signal to a composite or Analog coax signal... with no other output options.
I would rather pay a little more for a *single* box that could be used with both old TVs via the analog coax, or could be used with a a HD-ready display that lacks a HDTV tuner of its own.
Anyone know if:
A. Such a device actually exists?
B. Any such devices qualify for the $40 coupon?
I've tried searching individual devices, but it is a slow and tedious process.
Thanks. A. Yes, Samsung DTB-H260F ATSC tuner.
