Non-eligible converters

The following units are capable of converting ATSC digital television to analogue format but do not qualify for the US coupon program. In most cases, these are premium boxes with indicated disqualifying features such as digital, RGB or HDTV outputs.
* Coby DTV-140 (HDTV, component video)
* Grandtec Tun-5000 (HDTV, component video) [http://www.ezdigitaltv.com/Converter_Box.html]
* Panarex TR-100 (component video, S/PDIF, digital audio output) [ [http://www.pansatusa.com/tr100.htm PanSat: Panarex TR-100] ]
* PrimeDTV PHD-100, PHD-205 (QAM tuner, AC-3, S/PDIF, HDTV; the PHD-205 also provides VGA RGB output) [ [http://www.primedtv.com/products/dtvsettop.html PrimeDTV] ]
* Samsung DTBH260F (HDMI, S/PDIF, component video, HDTV) and Samsung SIR-T451 (QAM, DVI, HDTV, Dolby Digital)

Storage devices, such as DVD recorders, DVD/VCR combo units and personal video recorders made for the US market after 2007 are capable of providing digital conversion if they include TV tuners. All are, however, ineligible for the coupon program as they provide various non-qualifying features.
