Anyone have any idea what the converter boxes for NTSC sets will > cost?
I would find it amazing if they retail for more than US$99.
The technology is just too cheap. This task could be handled by the equivalent of a Tivo or Xbox, and reduced to an ASIC, you're looking at sub-$50. A perfect example of this is DVD players. I paid $200 for my first one; now they're $30 "door-buster" specials at the local BigBox.
