This is a HD set top box. These are the cheapest units i have seen around. Advantage here is no shipping costs - pickup in store and you can return if it’s not suitable again no shipping or hassle.
These units have coaxial and optical digital audio out as well as component video out.
The HD unit enables you to get the new broadcasts by Channel 7 and now 10 (Nine - still ONLY the one), which has different content. SD boxes will not give you these channels
You can also get ABC 2 and SBS (also available with the cheaper SD)
While a standard TV receives the new broadcasts, with HD boxes you just don’t get the extra definition. (Whereas with a SD box you dont get anything)
HD boxes prolongs the life of your old TV and video recorders, in the past these were around the $300 mark, now they are becoming affordable.
The HD boxes will also work with earlier Plasmas and LCD TV’s that were sold without HD or SD tuners again prolonging their useful life
