Where Are All of the HDTV Tuners? 208
An anonymous reader asks: "Today I read about rabbit ears making a comeback with OTA HTDV. I want to purchase a standalone ATSC HDTV tuner to go with my projector, but I am having a very hard time finding one. The big-box stores seem to only stock one or two models and are frequently sold out. Searching online yields similar results. It would seem that there would be ever increasing demand for these tuners given that many HDTVs were sold without internal tuners in years past, and these tuners will be necessary for all old NTSC TVs after the February, 2009 shutdown of analog broadcasts. Where should I look to buy one of these devices? Of the currently available models, which are the best? Will the standalone HDTV tuner become a ubiquitous item as the 2009 deadline approaches?"

Senior Guard: "We must stop this prison at once! Call the commisioner!"

Junior Guard: "Theres no time! We can't stop it!!"

Prisoner 4812: "I can stop this prison. Using the brake."
Senior Guard: "You? But, you are a prisoner! Exactly why should I trust you?!?"
Prisoner 4812: "Because I'm the only one who can stop this prison, dammit!"
(more crashing sounds, ground shakes uncontrollably)
Senior Guard: "Make it so."
Will they stop the prison in time? Will prisoner 4812 double cross the senior guard?
