Jeff, you can do that with a $3 microcontroller easily. PVT me if you
need some help.

I just did a comparison on my Magnavox TB100. A snowy analog picture becomes

As a Sony, LG, Samsung Dealer I can tell you none of these have a current
high End' Model HDTV tuner box. Was a different story a couple of years ago
when no one was really looking for a tuner, and we still sold a ton of them.
Have not been any replacements for a while. YMMV.
