I bought Samsung DTB-H260F to basically cut the "cord" although I keep verizon FiOS for Internet access. I select this particular product because it has HDMI as well as component ouputs. My LCD TV can support up to 1080p and given OTA programming can be 1080i, HDMI is nice. I live in the NY Metro area and I need to capture programming over both UHF and VHF. I have separate UHF and VHF antennas installed in the attic of my colonial old house. Signal sensitivity of the Samsung product is good. I am very pleased with the image quality. The H260F runs reasonably warm but not hot like competing products; hopefully this bodes well for product longevity given electronic component lives are halved for every 10 degrees temperature rise. Where the H260F fell down is in the user interface. You have to look inside the menus to get the channel signal strength. Even worse is the access to the programming guide.Read full review
Although discontinued several years ago, this tuner is still going strong and has a dominating presence in the market for people who want to cut the cord. I am using it for 10+ years in my theater along with a Panasonic projector to watch OTA programming. The tuner is very easy to program, use, and has variety of AV outputs including HDMI that I use. PQ is incredible with 5.1 surround sound in majority of the programs. PQ is in fact better for OTA programming than compressed signals you get with cable TV. It even has the TV guide built in! Overall, watching TV is a lot more fun with this tuner hooked up to the projector and a HT surround sound receiver. I will highly recommend this tuner to anyone who wants to cut cord and go really big screen.
