THe $59 box

I gather that this is the box the $40 govt coupon works on..its $59 at best buy--but no HDMI outputs or component video outputs, just an RF output for an old-style TV with only an RF input plus analog outputs

somehow I suspect the $40 coupons wont work on the $179 Samsung boxes with the component and HDMI outputs

However the little tuners that can be purchased for $19 net the $40 coupon are interesting in that they pull a stereo signal off of TV cable to run to a Hi Fi..

BUT I Conclude from what you say is that I need the $179 box to pull the HDTV channels from the cable like I'm doing with the new panasonic flat panel..(Either that or give up and rent the HDTV box from the cable company with the built in recorder) but then its easiest to just use the extra component video inputs on the RPTV

I think next I need to investigate exactly what the HDTV box the cable company is renting has as outputs.
