Simon G Tech: Digital TV converter boxes (28) RE: Tech: Digital TV converter boxes 02 Mar 09

Digital Terrestrial tuner boxes in the UK are $20-$30 which seems to be the price after the $40 coupon in the USA.

Is the USA switching over completely on one day? In the UK we are taking 4 years over it, the first area to switch was in 2008 and more follow this year.

The PVR boxes with a disk and two tuners are worth every penny. The best tech buy I've ever made. Our broadcast format is identical to DVD so as long as you can get the file off the box you can make a DVD or watch on a PC. There are utilities around to strip the headers off the file. Many boxes have a USB connection but usually you have to connect an external disk, copy the file then connect the external diak to your PC.
