Beware! Caution! Read the specs!
--> NO ATSC tuner in the SA220!

If that link doesn't work, look for "datasheet" on the product page:

This box sounds like it is fine if you have a digital source (like a DVD or cable box), but it won't get broadcast digital TV--it only has an NTSC tuner.
Want an ATSC tuner? Look for the SA245.

It's misleading that they call this a tuner isntead of an adapter.
For a few dollar more you can get the (real) tuner version from amazon.

And don't forget this is from KWorld so the rebate is really worth ZERO.

...Actually, the SA220 -does- have a tuner, it's just that it is an NTSC (analog) tuner.

The SA245 has only a Digital DVB-T Tuner which is used in Europe not in the USA. Not ATSC Tuner.
The PlusTV HD USB 315 (ATSC 315U) has ATSC HD tuner.
