I've been trying to find good advice online for a while, but keep finding dead-ends and confusion. I hope one of you experts (least compared to me) has some suggestions...
First, I am in Plain City, OH (outside Columbus): www(dot)tvfool(dot)com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3de6a4a2cf6aa570
I have a Denon AVR-S900W receiver with a Acer h5380bd project attached to it. I have no cable TV, just plan on using an OTA antenna (which I don't have yet).
My main question is, what's a good way to add a TV Tuner to this setup? Ideally I'd like to be able to watch OTA TV through my receiver on my projector and have a remote to change channels. (I've seen the $30-$40 ViewTV and Mediasonic external tv tuners on Amazon, but I'm confused if they will be "good quality enough"... I think 1080p is good enough quality for me but I see others in the $100-$200 range...)
The ability to DVR or PVR would be nice but not a requirement.
A secondary question I have is... I also have an older model DVD recorder (Magnavox zv427mg9...)... which only has RCA input and S-Video input (no HDMI input).
Does anyone have a suggestion to take an HDMI output from the Denon and convert it to either RCA or S-Video? Might be nice to be able to record a show that way.
Finally, might there be a product that could serve both purposes - handle ATSC OTA signals through my receiver to watch on my projector AND convert HDMI to S-Video or RCA? I'm thinking not, but thought I'd ask...
Thanks!
