Using ATSC Set-Top-Boxes with vintage sets.

I wonder if there is (or, will be) a digital tuner with a switched AC outlet on the back. I think that would be a good idea for use on non-remote older TV's.

My rabbit ears are amplified, have a built in UHF loop and claim to be "HDTV ready" and still do not receive well. However, I have found that the used ATSC tuners from the EBAY store listed below are more sensitive and seem to be of better quality than the RJTech unit sold by NewEgg.com. They are also cheaper. You still need the RF converter with these.

I suspect one (probably the major) issue with my HDTV reception is the low transmitting power that it is being used at present. I certanly hope that the transmit power is raised following the 2009 cutoff. If not, quite a few people will lose reliable broadcast television.
