OK, I've spent the weekend studying all the various DTV boxes offered to
allow us folk with older analog TV hardware to rcv the (current?) new ATSC
digital signals post 2/9/09. Boy, did I get a cook's tour! And, nowhere I
looked did I find a (the!) solution I sought.
See, I have an antenna in the garage rafters. To this antenna connects a
good distribution amp. To this distribution amp I have a cable run to a
bedroom, the living room, and the garage (have an old component TV
[Mitubishi] for watching NASCAR races while puttering in the garage on Sundays.
So, I've decided to retire (give away, sell, toss, ?, UPGRADE) all my old
analog TV gear and move on to what is now available. I figure I'll spend
~$3000 to complete this exercise......(?) I have no plans to build a "home
theatre" ATM.
One Question: Do all of the newer WS LCD/Plasma solutions I see have
internal tuners? Some that I see only mention having HDMI imputs and/or an
imput for a PC. I read this to mean that this screen will require an
outboard "A/V Reciever" like Denon, Onkyo, Sony, etc...... Am I close?
I believe my first purchase will be a Viewsonic N2635W LCD WS HDTW/Monitor
for the bedroom. Box says it has both HDTV and NTSC tunners built-in. OD
has it on sale for $499. Anyone have any negative comments on this choice?
Best,
Duncan
