Rating: - Stunning audio and video
I bought this receiver to solve a problem I was having with my Mitsubishi wd-52631. The TV has a great picture, but on some stations the audio that I port to an A/V receiver through the digital output of the TV is flakey. It cuts in and out. This is with a nearly 100 percent signal on TV.
This is were the Samsung DTBH260F comes in. I use a HDMI cable to send video to the Mitsubishi TV and an optical cable to send audio to my Yamaha receiver. The results are simply stunning. The audio gets decoded into 5.1 surround sound by the Yamaha A/V receiver and the video is at least as good if not better than the Mitsubishi's tuner.
As other reviewer's have noted, the remote is the weak link. This is of no concern to me because I use a Harmony 890 remote. If you are having problems with the tuner in your HDTV or just need a great little Hi Def tuner buy this one. You won't be disappointed if you use a HDMI cable for video and an optical cable for audio!
Rating:  - Died after a year of very little use.
Product worked okay until it just gave out after a little over a year. What a waste of money.
Rating: - So far so good
Having bought a Sony HD ready TV circa 2002 from Craigslist I wasn't too surprised to find that it didn't include an actual HD tuner. This little box does the trick, allowing me to use a set-top terrestrial antenna ($30 from Radioshack) to receive beautiful HD television on all 4 major networks, Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) as well as a few wierdo channels. It's a breeze to setup, includes a component video cable, optical audio out for true surround sound with a receiver, and easy to follow instructions. Probably a bit overpriced, though it's a pretty small market. The onscreen controls aren't very well thought out and don't provide as much customization as you might want, but the "Signal Strength" feature is great for helping to position your antenna.
Overall I'm very happy with this product.
Rating: - Great HDTV Receiver with HDMI
I being using this product for a while now and I just love it. Has all the features you could want. Picture looks great channel info., clock etc. I only have two complaints that really are not that bad. It takes a while to power up, but if you leave on I guess no problem there and second if your favorite channel on intial scan was missed even if you enter manually it still doesnt recognized it. Love the organized and edit, I still dont regret buying it.
Rating:  - Dissapointed...
EXPECTATION: A full featured TV tuner to be used with a HD monitor.
REALITY: A glorified DTV tuner, much like the $50 units offered with the exception of an HDMI, Toslink & RGB output.
PROS: It provides a quality video output.
CONS: Weak line level audio output performance, WIll not receive SD cable broadcast, Very slow startup, Only controlled from the remote, Weak menus for channel setup & very slow channel learning.
This product did not do what I expected nor does it preform well. In particular, the line level audio output is not very good at all. Compared to my Samsung LCD, the line level audio output to a known good audio system seems flat sounding.
The bigger disappointment is it does not include a SD receiver. I'd planned to use this tuner to connect my 42" monitor to my local cable service for the basic cable services I receive. I was disappointed to find It will only receive the clear QAM channels Comcast offers (not very many here) and non of the standard broadcast provided by Comcast. The results is I really don't receive much more than I would over the air locally and what I get through the cable does not include any programing info (thanks Comcast).
I also don't like the idea of only being able to control it from the remote. with out the remote it becomes a paper weight and is rendered useless. The menus and channel setup is also very annoying. you can not add channels without first going through ... Read More
