I've been told that they are no longer made and when stock is gone, that's it. In fact, I'm not so sure that very many converters are being made by any brand.
As far as decent ones, RS was carrying the digitalstream boxes as of a few months ago. I don't know about now. WM had a whole boat load of those Funai built Magnavox cheapie boxes; but, they soon sold out and have not restocked. The Zenith/Insignia boxes were discontinued in short order and all BB ended up having were some real crappy Apex boxes that you could fry an egg on. They probably don't even carry those anymore.
I'm sure the whole game plan was to discontinue the DTV converters ASAP in order to force people into buying a new TV. I have two Digitalstream boxes, a CM box, one Magnavox box that I paid $15 for, and one of those cheap BB Apex boxes that I got for free when my neighbor went into a nursing home. I plan on buying more boxes, just in case I need them, in the near future.
