If you have an HD screen, you'll want to look for a tuner that specifies HD output-and you may not find it.
Searching on eBay and other resale sites is another option, and may give you better odds of finding one of the models Consumer Reports endorsed at the time.īut remember that "DTV" is not a synonym for "HDTV." Coupon-eligible converter boxes ("CECBs") could only output a standard-definition signal to qualify for that program, and few other manufacturers have made high-definition DTV tuners. You can still find models on sale for $50 or so at retailers like Radio Shack, Sears and Walmart. The coupon program the government ran to subsidize the purchase of digital-TV converter boxes ended in late 2009 (with just over 64.1 million of those $40 coupons mailed and almost 35 million redeemed), and since then the market for converter boxes has largely dried up. What are my options?Īnswer: This question helped remind me that the digital-TV transition isn't exactly finished, even though it's almost exactly four years after most analog broadcasts ended in June 2009.īut if you're looking to get an analog set back on the air, that job has gotten harder since 2009. Question: I need a digital converter so I can watch over-the-air television on an older set.
