Directv H20

Pros: Digital Off-Air and Digital Satellite tuning, High Definition and Digital to Analog conversion

Cons: Doesn't make the popcorn

The Bottom Line: Have an older set you want to keep using with local channels, want clear channels, or just want great HD programming? This receiver from DirecTv will supply it all.

Review: Ever wondered just what you will do with your older Analog TV with the analog channels (NTSC) scheduled to disappear in 2009? That's right, these older sets will no longer pick up your local Off-Air TV channels once stations go full digital - without ...
