$55 HD ATSC tuner box - comp. or VGA only (1 Viewer)

[Dennis Nicholls]

I found this poking around on Woot this morning.

Kworld Digital HDTV Tuner - dealnews.com

It's the Kworld Digital HDTV tuner model # SA290-Q LE . Playing around with rebates gets the price down to $55. Apparently it doesn't have an HDMI output, only component YPrPb or VGA, but might be an alternative at half the price of the Samsung 260F for those who can use it.

Decodes both OTA ATSC and clear channel QAM.

Other than this posting I know nothing about this box: caveat emptor.

If you go to Dennis' link and then click on the link to the model...it will take you to buy.com which has a nice short video detailing the features of this model.

For the price it looks very attractive. I was just in the potential market for a device like this (my HDTV has an analog tuner and I was contemplating ditching my cable and going OTA)...but I decided instead on DishTV.
