Help me find a HDTV tuner
 
I don't have (or desire to get) cable or satalite, so I need to find a OTA HDTV reciever.

I've looked around and most are Direct TV units which I won't be able to use.

So, can anyone point me towards a good deal on one of these things?

Thanks

seems like it's getting favorable reviews. I'm thinking about checking out one myself, but i'm pretty happy with my cable service so far.

I am conflicted about getting an HDTV tuner. I have a HD ready RPTV, and I am using TiVo to watch televison. If I added the tuner (for OTA) then basically I would see something I like on TV (Desperate Houswives for example) and then switch to the HD input to watch the program.

Would there be a way to connect my system more optimally so I could be watching TiVo but have the HD on the same input, and just change to the HD channel (12.1 I believe is a proper example)? I am aware I could not record the HD, nor would I want to. I am just debating wether to spend the money for HD, and neglect the TiVo I spent money on, or end up doing the revers.

Inputs and suggestions would be appreciated.

EDIT: Also, would it be better to spend more money and get a tuner with DVI, since my TV has that input, or is it comparable to component?
