Don't you mean DTV converters? I don't know of any HDTV converter boxes.
Anyways, see http://www.freelabs.com/~whitis/elec...tv_converters/ ...

Oh, there are HDTV converter boxes. I've got one.

But you're right, the ones Max is probably asking about aren't HD.

There really aren't a lot of different ones available right now. Walmart
carries the Magnavox and RCA. There are user reviews at walmart.com,
bestbuy.com, and probably a few other places.

But that won't give true HD for old analog TVs (e.g., 10+ years old
TVs), right? BVut then I don't think any of the government coupons
support these HD converter boxes.

Or I am wrong.

True. What they will convert is HDTV signals to analog component (and in
some cases HDMI) for HDTVs that don't have tuners (or at least don't have
HD tuners) built-in.

And yes, the coupons won't cover converters with HD outputs.
