Receiver needed for High Definition Over the air OTA broadcast?
My High Definition television did not include the ATSC tuner. It is a Toshiba 30HF83 with a DVI/HDCP input. I had purchased a Samsung SIR-T351 set top box which does recieve the High Definition stations. The problem is I need to have the antenna rotor pointed directly at each individual transmitter station. Another set just purchased which is a Toshiba 37HL67 has both the NTSC and the ATSC tuner incorporated. This set does not require the antenna pointed directly at the transmitters. All stations come in great no matter where the outdoor antenna is pointed.
Is there a better set top ATSC tuner box on the market as it appears to be a major improvement in reception? If possible I would like to have a tuner with HD recording capability. Is there such a model available ? Similar to what is done with a VCR and NTSC broadcast now. I do not want to purchase a service such as TIVO as it requires a monthly fee.
I have that receiver, it is decent. But It is only as good as the antenna that you have. I have a channel master UHF bowtie antenna with a uhf amplifier. I get reception for two distant cities at 35-55 miles each with a rotator. The antenna is on the roof. Remember that HD Tv is broadcast primarliy in UHF not VHF frequencies.
as for the recoding capability, I am looking for the same HD capability in a stand alone box. LG did make one but it is not now offered. Sony has one but it is very expensive over $1000. You can do it yourself with a pc and a hd tuner card and myth tv. I want the stand alone solution and wil wait for Panasonic or someone to do it
