See the link below for a picture of the Tivax LX1000 STB.
Here's a description of what it can do:
Main features
■ Receives ATSC Terrestrial signals (VSB)
■ Decodes all 36 ATSC DTV standard video formats.
■ Selectable output video formats: 1080i, 720, 480p or 480i
■ Analog L/R audio output
■ Closed caption and V-Chip
■ Electronic Program Guide (EPG)
■ On screen menu for user control
■ Low Power consumption in standby
Video
■ Component output (YPbPr): 1080i,720,480p or 480i
■ Composite output (CVBS): 480i
■ S-Video output: 480i
■ Digital video output HDMI support: 1080i,720,480p Audio Audio
■ 2 Channel analog L/R output
■ Digital audio output: SPDIF (AC3 or PCM)
Other
■ One RF input: ATSC and Open Cable
■ 9-12V DC power input with 110V AC Adaptor
It says HDMI, but I can see no HDMI output in the picture of the rear panel. All other outputs seem to be there. Also, don't forget there's a $40 rebate -- up to 2 per household -- available from the Feds.

..And the Tivax LX1000 is NOT covered under the Gov. voucher program.
It is something to do some research on though, thats alot of product for 89.99
It's a digital OTA tuner. Why would $40 of its cost not be covered by the voucher program?
The converter box must NOT output anything other than 480i in order to be eligible for the $40 government coupon rebate. In addition, it must not have any output besides the standard RF and analog RCA A/V outputs in order to be coupon-eligible. If a box outputs 720p or higher, or if it has component, DVI or HDMI outputs, then the box is automatically ineligible for the coupon discount.
