We've known for how long now?
Me personally? I've known since about 1995 but that's me.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21689031 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 09:20:05 EDT Re: We've known for how long now? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21682186 tschmidt :

Part of the problem is that a lot of the early DTV boxes are lame....
That is a very good point. Digital Tuners have gone though several generations as manufactures gain real world experience.

We purchased a couple of converter boxes a couple of months ago. Did not want to be an early adopter and wanted a box that did analog pass through. That makes life easier pretransition and we have a couple of low power analog stations so will not be completely digital come Feb.

If you are just starting to get ready for the dtv transition, I feel no pity for you.
Part of the problem is that a lot of the early DTV boxes are lame.... buggy, quality issues, some overheat and lock up, poor energy efficiency, weak features, etc etc

So some people were waiting for boxes that are coming but behind schedule....

I have a nice HDTV in the living room and I put up an OTA antenna on the roof and the HD digital picture is awesome... but my bedroom has an older SD and ReplayTV unit--- this TV and unit will become obsolete as of Feb 17th and so needs a box to remain useful--- I really don't feel the pressure to run out and by a new TV or Tivo etc right now, so I am using my coupons early because they are expiring--- and gambling on the box.
