"Wow - great HDTV over-the-air"
Pros: Easy to set up and the digital channels look super and most are 80% or more on the signal strength.
Cons: Not available in local stores. Cannot lock out channels that have a signal strength too weak to lock on.
Summary: I'm very pleased with my new Humax ATSC digital tuner. It exceeds what I expected and I wish I had gotten one sooner. I invited a friend over and he was so impressed with this little machine that he went back to his store and ordered one online that night. If you have a HDTV compatible (they call it HDTV ready) and do not have cable or satelite service (DirectTV, etchostar, etc.) then you are probably in for a real treat if you get one of these or the Samsung SIR T451 digital (HDTV) tuner. My wife loved ours so much that we took it over to her sister's house and it worked great there too with her regular TERK antenna but we then went out and bought a Samsung SIR T451 tuner as Circuit City does not carry this Humax tuner. We live downtown Washington, DC and are probably within 5 miles of the towers. I note that we seem to be much more able to get the Baltimore stations than the DC digital (HDTV) stations. Hope this review helps.
