That $89 item at radio shack was a closeout price. I'd like you to show me where I can buy a set top box for under $100 these days. The problem with every new TV requiring the ATSC tuner built in is that there doesn't seem to be much market for set top boxes.

The other interesting feature is that anyone who is getting their TV from cable doesn't really care about NTSC being turned off over the air. What are the statistics of how many people get their TV solely over the air? I'm doing it now, but only since I picked up a Samsung SRT451 at overstock.com last year as an experiment at dropping my cable bill.
