Thanks! I was able to get that Panasonic box.
I'm planning to get an ATSC modulator thats coming up for bid tomorrow.
If the Panasonic ATSC tuner works properly with my JVC deck then the ATSC modulator will likely fix 3 things in my AV system that have been bugging me: Not being able to use my D-VHS to time shift cable (I do have a HDMI to USB capture device but it's a single event timer so on vacation I always end up missing something), having to run a 30' HDMI cable under the carpet from my source rack to my HDCRT Sony(with the modulator I can make that a low power OTA RF link), and simultaneously displaying an HDMI signal on my HDTV and my antique vacuum tube TVs and having it look good on both (I should be able to tune the ATSC modulator on my SD Zenith converter boxes select letterbox or crop mode depending on content/preference and feed the Zenith box to my old sets....Heck it might also give me a way of linking the 2nd floor and basement SD video racks noise free and allow HD signals from upstairs to be watched downstairs...
I'm planning on reconfiguring my main AV rack soon and if all these new components work right there's going to be a lot of exciting improvements.
