DTV converter box ?s

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

OK, my Dad got pissed off at the cable people and cancelled it. So I tell him in Feb he's gotta get a box. He's clueless. Well, I figure I'll just get a couple of coupons and get a $40 dollar box. But then I felt like I should try a little harder and do better (and maybe guinea pig him for my pissed off at cable people episode...lol)

So he's got the big Philips 40" CRT HDTV. What's a good box with at least S-video, preferably component out with analog pass-thru that you can use a coupon with? I've got a big antenna I could hook up in his attic if some rabbit ears or a set top ampified doesn't hack it. He's in Mobile AL so it's not bad for reception but with the hurricanes, I don't wanr to put up an outdoor antenna. TIA for your suggestions.
I *like* the loudness button!
