John, if you are using a reasonably good PC, you should consider using
Divco Fusion 5 HDTV PCI card in the computer, $99 will get you there. I
use one in my office and it receives both NTSC and ATSC signals using a
loop antenna hung on the back of my LCD monitor. Funny thing is that
the NTSC stations are very poor to none existent reception yet I get all
the ATSC stations perfectly. I can switch from ATSC to NTSC with one
click.

I'll tell you one feature I wish the Samsung box in my office had, and
that=20
I hope is in the RFP from the NAB should also have, and that is an NTSC=20
tuner.
It is a pain and a half to switch between the Samsung DTV and cable NTSC
on=20
my set. I should be able to use one remote, one tuner, and one button
press=20
to seamlessly surf between cable or OTA NTSC and ATSC. The end of
analog=20
OTA does not mean the end of NTSC!
