Terrestrial HD Tuners - Anyone reccomend a good one?

Geez these things are impossible to find in a store. I check all over and I guess I will have to order one from internet. Samsung appears to have discontinued their model. They go on ebay for $200.

Wondering if I should get one of them on ebay or get an off-brand for $100 new?

Anyone have any experience with these? Need to pick one up prior to the super bowl!

You could go with an over the air HDTV antenna. I don't think you need the receiver at all. Just the antenna check out this site:

Crutchfield.com - hdtv antenna

I guess you need the tuner if you don't have a HDTV... I wasn't even thinking about that.

Right, early model HDTVs were "HD ready", without a internal ATSC tuner.
