| HDTV for under $100
As you've no doubt heard by now, all of Channel 8's local news programs are now broadcast in digital high definition. We know that most of our viewers don't yet have an HDTV set, and the lowest priced models are still $500 and up. But unlike the transition from black-and-white to color TV (when the first sets would set you back several house payments), you can sample the incredible picture quality of HD for under $100 as long as you have a compatible computer. The Hauppauge WinTV HVR-950 is about the size of a pack of gum. It connects to your Windows computer using a built-in USB connector (or an extension cable if your USB ports are in close quarters). The only other connection on the HVR-950 lets you screw in a TV antenna cable to supply the signal (a simple telescoping antenna is inluded).
