Those set top box DTV tuners seem to be getting harder to find, not easier. Most stores don't even have them, but they all have plenty of HD ready TVs. When I do see them, they still cost $200+. That's going to be a tough sell when a DTV compatible "SDTV" can be had for about the same price.
When you think about it, there is no incentive for anyone to make a cost effective converter. They would much rather have you buy a new TV.
