I recently purchased a 42' Plasma Monitor which lacks the built in tuner. The only reason I bought one without it was because of a deal that was virtually unbeatable. Anyways, my problem is that I now need a device that takes the SDTV signal (from coax/uhf) and then can turn it to a component output for just SDTV as the monitor does not have a direct Coax jack, only DVI/HDMI/Component/Composite and S-Video inputs which makes watching standard def cable TV a bit of a problem (cannot view it at all until I find a tuner). I am not concerned with HDTV as 6 channels are broadcast for free in my area over the air and as a college student I cannot afford with full HD package. It seems every where I look there are HDTV tuners for only Desktop computers and USB ports, and others that look capable of doing the job but have MSRP's of $2,000+ and I would prefer to spend $100 or less. Are there components made that can do what I am asking at a fairly cheap price? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
