Reception is not an issue was getting 97-99% signal strength (according to dish network box that I had the antenna connected too). I no longer have the dish. What I am doing now is I am going to put a hd tuner in my htpc. But my htpc is used for both computer and for ht, and need something for when I am on the comp but the family is watching tv.

Any hdtv tuners that are very cheap? Like I said, reception is very good in my area. Dont care about DD (stero is fine), guide is prefered but if its expensive then no guide is fine, componet video cable is fine

How is the Motorola DSR-550 Voom? I see one locally.

See the list in the HDTV STB Synopsis.

As for the Voom DSR 550, it would not be the best choice for a number of reasons.
