Ok, I've looked at the Samsungs, LG, Sony, Hughes, etc. and see issues with all of them. Most only have DVI (the H10 has HDMI). Most have optical audio not coaxial audio. A couple have both. The biggist issue is when you don't have or want D*V or Dish and just want an OTA HD tuner for a HD ready TV. With the h10 you have to have the unit hooked up to a D*V dish or it won't work. Is there a good Dishnet HD receiver with HDMI that would work without being connected. Not having to have an access card inserted would also be a plus. Not looking for a DVR model.
Thanks

DVI out goes to HDMI in with a simple cable or adapter. Optical to coaxial converters are available as well, if that's the only issue.

How about the new Samsung DTB-H260F stand alone ATSC/QAM tuner... if you really insist on using a used D* box, get something older then the H10 and use a DVI to HDMI adapter cable as noted.
