Converters with HD output 
Several recent stories have been published in engineering publications asking if there are any converters that have HD outputs. The short answer is; yes there are. BUT... they don't qualify under the coupon program, or do they?


DTV CONVERTER BOXES WITH HD OUTPUTS

In reply to Bob Malsbury's quest for DTV converter boxes with HD outputs, the following letters were received:

o There are a few tuners that have HD outputs,
such as HDMI.
Though a couple of years old now, one such
box is the Samsung DTB-H260F. To be
government coupon eligible, converter boxes
cannot have HD outputs, only SD. This is
because the gvrnmnt subsidy is intended for
existing/older analog TVs only (which
presumably are not HD).
- Name withheld upon request

o Try the Samsung HD tuners at Bust Buy.
They have HDMI and analog video outputs.
- Name withheld, Los Angeles engineer.

o I have a Coby TV convertor which has
component output as well as the usual
composite. As I recall, it might have
cost about $50....
