Do you mean to convert over-the-air to digital for a flat screen?
I have Verizion FioS.

I have Verizion FioS.
The flat screen is in the bedroom and the big rear projection.
Neither has a digital tuner but both have all the inputs outputs you could use.
So looking to find a digital converter to analog.
Many models out there; no current reviews. The reviews I found are from years ago.

Probably because very few don't have cable, is my guess. They aren't a very complicated product, I can't imagine one being vastly better or worse than another. Amazon is the only place I know of to get a decent amount of reviews on a somewhat obscure product.

yeah that's what happens when you live in hicksville.
If it was for me it would not really mater for the amount I watch. What I do miss is Direct TV.

I bought a Zenith several years ago when they converted and it worked fine until my old analog TV died. I had to buy a TV with the digital in it because there weren't any others out there. Both have worked fine for me.

So guess Boxee / etc would suck. I am spoiled with 25MB up and down. I would have no problem dropping cable, I could make do with my Boxee Box and Netflix. The wife and stepson like cable, so we keep it.
Here's a lot of options, with reviews..

Do you recall which model Zenith it was?
I really hate to throw away the big screen since it has not given me a once of issues.
Not only that a comparable size is gonna hit me up for ~5k

Not a wally world shopper, seems they sell only the bottom of the line stuff.

It would be nice if Mits was avail here.
And plasma tv's suck big power and interfere with all the other electronics in the house had a small one that caused problems to haft the other electronics in the house.
Still looking for comments on converters.

I don't know that you are going to get any here, or most places. I don't know anyone that has ever had one, that's why I recommended Amazon for the reviews.
Newegg.ca has one listed:

Reviews suck though

Buddy sent the info on Toshiba HDD-J35 HD thing is it is old and had issues from what I read.
Has some sweet aspects to it and some downfalls from what I have read too.
Need to find something newer and I imagine should be cheaper now.

Model # DTT901 AJ. It worked very well for me so if you find one it shouldn't give you any problems.
