Hello folks,

I am planning to join the club of OTA TV users. I have analog tuner TV, Panasonic CT-24SL14J, until I figure out which antenna is best, I am looking for digital to analog converter box. I searched through the forum and found that folks here are fond of ChannelMaster, may be its the best one but its pricey for my budget. I am willing to spend upto $60 max, only if there is no good converter at this price range then I will stretch a bit more.

Amazon gave me following choices, none stands out, still.

Consider a tuner/converter that has both SD & HD output capability. The purchase would be a bit more 'future proof'.

A second HD capable tuner can be a useful tool in certain scenarios, http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=2882
