Is there simple HDTV converter design out there that I can build my own
converter box? All I want is to use my antenna and receive local HD
broadcast. Who are the tuner makers out there? What are the chip available
set out there? Thank you.

I doubt it would be simple to slap together, but I just read here in
S.E.D. that off-air digital boxes are "$199"

What are the ATSC tuner maker?

For playing around, how about an ATI HDTV Wonder card? Needs a 1.3 gig
processor, 256 meg RAM, 64 meg video card and an antenna. List price
$200. Recording software is included. It uses the Philips Maui module.

Does anyone has experiences of these chip sets out there to share with us?
Thank you.
 
Mike, can you please offer any more info about this S.E.D. box?
