I'm thinking that discussions about ATSC to NTSC convertor boxes (that have nothing to do with gov't coupons) can be posted here. The question is simple: Are there any ATSC tuner / converter boxes that:
a) have component video output (or, if not, have at least S-video out), and
b) have tuner sensitivity at least as good as the worst off-brand, el-cheapo, refurbished flat panel digital televisions, and
c) are known to function for at least 6 months before self destructing
I don't care at all if the unit has recording capability - I would prefer it didn't if it made the price cheaper without sacrificing on any of the above 3 criteria.
