Philco TB150HH9

The Philco TB150HH9 is a 480i analog-to-digital DTV converter box that allows digital content to be viewed on a traditional analog set. It features analog pass-through, which allows still-in-operation analog stations to be viewed as well.

A heavyset competitor to other DTV boxes on the market, the TB150HH9 outmans its peers by including much-demanded features such as Dolby-Digital stereo audio (out), an Emergency Alert System, and even V-Chip 2.0 parental controls. Most notable about the TB150HH9 is its advanced Electronic Program Guide (EPG), which allows users to browse through currently available programming. In fact, it is very similar to the menu utilized by Digital Cable systems. The Philco TB150HH9 retails for $79.99 and is eligible for a government coupon discount.
