Samsung Announces New Lower-Cost Set-top Box

Although many television viewers can access both SD and HDTV signals through cable or satellite, many consumers still need to access DTV and HDTV signals over-the-air, via an indoor or outdoor antenna. However, although HDTVs can easily display a high definition image, many sets do not have built-in over-the-air HDTV tuners. As a result, Samsung is introducing a new lower-cost HD set-top box, the DTB-H260F. Priced at $179, the DTB-H260F houses an HDTV tuner that can receive over-the-air broadcasts. For additional details on the DTB-H260F, check out the report from Broadcasting and Cable.
