I've been playing with free over the air HDTV for several years now using various HD Tuners (converter boxes) including a Samsung and one by Humax. The antenna I used was a $20 outdoor UHF unit from RadioShack. I had it pointed at the high rise buildings downtown but now that the new broadcast tower is up on a mountain top, I may get by with a tiny indoor antenna. I haven't tried it yet.

We applied for our $40 Converter Box coupons a few weeks ago and they just arrived. I'm not sure if the "eligible converter boxes" have HDMI or Component Video outputs but they will most certainly have Composite Out (which won't be sufficient for true hi-def quality video but it will allow older sets to get the new digital broadcasts). I'll be researching some of the converter boxes.

We applied for the coupon online beyond what was the cut off date. I'm not sure if the cut off date for applications has been revised.

Here's what the credit card like plastic "coupons" look like:

Here's the outdoor UHF antenna that I may no longer need:
