Panasonic TU-DST51A ATSC DTV HDTV Digital TV Tuner Demonstration

Panasonic TU-DST51A ATSC DTV HDTV Digital TV Tuner Demonstration Video Clips. Duration : 6.25 Mins.


The granddaddy of them all, I believe the first high end, commercially available, ATSC DTV/HDTV tuner. Released in 1999 for 00. There weren't many digital TV stations back then, let alone HDTV, but there were a few hardcore high end home theater freaks that were after 'em. Now 11 years later I wound up with one, so I decided to give it a shot, and it still runs like a champ. They are still sought after today. Those with older TV's or projectors with component video inputs capable of displaying HDTV need such a tuner to get HDTV from over the air, yet manufacturers stopped making these kind of tuners due to lack of demand, as most just go out and get a new flatscreen. Those left with these tuners are usually unwilling to part with them, as well as their older TV's.
