TVs with ATSC tuners built in.

[Floyd]

I went shopping for a couple of 27" TVs today, and was surprised how much the TV departments in CC and BestBuy have changed. There is a huge selection of various formats of flat and thin screen TVs, and the regular tube-type TVs have been kind of pushed off to the end of the department.
I was surprised that many of the regular TVs now have an ATSC digital tuner included, for not all that much extra money; SD of course. I hooked them up to a satellite receiver, so I didn't get to see how the tuner worked. I'm thinking of putting a rabbit ear on to see.

My parents bought one a few months ago and I was very impressed how well the QAM channels integrated and worked out of the box.

My parents can now watch HD downrezzed to SD on their new 27" tv.

Hah, you write for Engadget from time to time? .. that's pretty damn cool,
Engadget's a fantastic site, congrats!

edit: wow, way more than time to time.. good job! As I previously said, Engadget rocks.. it's one of
the sites I hit daily. Engadget, Gizmodo... pretty much some great info about latest tech on a daily
basis (though honestly, some of the cable industry stuff they post is a bit wacky).

If I ever can, I'll definately help.. but 99% of the time when I know anything cool, you guys know about it 2 weeks before I'm allowed to talk about it.


But keep up the good work!
