Hey everyone, I am hoping folks can help me.

I am looking for a DvD player that also has a Digital TV tuner in it.

I want to be able to receive the new digital broadcasts but don't want to buy a new tv, so I'm hoping to find a dvd player that can do that. nothing else fancy.

Thanks for your help.

10 minutes with Google only turned up the DRC8335 from RCA, and it ain't cheap. You might be better buying separate.

EDIT: And it has TV Guardian, one of the greatest offenses to adult indifference in the history of mankind.

Also turned up the Panasonic DMR-EZ47VK, but it costs even more. $280. Ouch.

EDITEDIT: And the reviews of the RCA model are the worst I've ever seen of a DVD/VHS combo. Ever.

can't buy it seperate. Either the TV or the DVD converter has to be able to convert the digital signal and the sub channels.

Thanks for the help. I'll look into those. (though I really hope I won't be stuck watching tv on my laptop, that would suck)

edit: I take it ATSC is the proper name for digital tuners and HD broadcast?

If you're looking for a separate unit, you want a "DTA (digital to analog) converter box."

EDIT Like this.

I feel so old with all these new fangled technologies. Thanks for the help.


It is amazing how little the people at RadioShack know, or are willing to help.
