Looking for the cheapest HDTV box that will work!

I can't find any current auctions for that Motorola HD Receiver! That seems to be the only one on Ebay and it's already sold! Who else makes something similar and perhaps cheaper? Yes a remote controlled rotor, that's what I had pictured. I think we can get by with a standard cheepo...

Looking for the cheapest HDTV box that will work!

Thanks for the help! Gambling $60-$80 without a warranty is more my game! ;) Whoa, you'd put a directional antenna in an attic or on a roof? I guess you'd need it automated too, so it's not a long trip to change it's directions. We aren't looking to spend that much money. We are in the...

Looking for the cheapest HDTV box that will work!

WHOA, $200 was what I DIDN'T want to spend on a box. What functionality or picture quality am I giving up by going with a $60-$80 VOOM instead of this top of the line box? I really just need a way to watch this ONE certain HD channel that is only on broadcast (over air) HD

Thanks, we'll just plug in a regular tv top antenna we have laying around first and see how it does. I don't think we have a 'bowtie' just one with two telescoping antennas and then a circular ring for the other band. This kind won't work well for HDTV signal?

THANKS! THE VOOM looks exactly what I need for not too much $$$. How much should I spend on a good antenna? They let you spend as much as you want it seems. $10 maybe?

Looking for the cheapest HDTV box that will work!

Can anyone confirm that a DirectTV HD box will do this? I have an old Dish network DP301 box, but that doesn't seem to work for this application. I guess I can sell the Dish box and get a directTV one for use on over the air broadcasts?

Best/cheapest box for receiving Broadcast HD channels?!

Do the HDTV's come with a built in HD Tuner these days?? Or would I still need to buy an HD Tuner box to watch the off the air channels with an antenna?? If the box itself is almost $200, I may as well buy an HDTV if it's included and get to WATCH them in HD?!

Thanks, but I found that website already! I'm not too worried about the antenna, but the boxes out there are close to $200!!! There has to be a much cheaper solution!? NO?
