With so much who-ha about the digital tv switch, and the coupon program, I wanted to see how many “Coupon Eligble” DTV Converter Boxes are out there.
Here’s a list as of 17 February 2008, one year before the switch.
Insignia LSX300 (LG/Zenith) BEJ9QKE00710 has a cable in/output, composite video output, and a smart-antenna connector that looks somewhat like an RJ-45 connector. Smart antenna is an array of antenna’s (as one antenna) that automatically finds the correct direction and signal gain based on IEEE standard EIA/CEA-909.

All these devices have and Electronic Program Guide, and On Screen Programming. And a remote control.
