Reviews of the Samsung SIR-T451

CNET Review
The Good: Pull in free over-the-air HDTV; DVI, RGB, and component-video connectivity; basic onscreen programming guide included.
The Bad: Doesn't receive as many channels as TVs with built-in HD tuners; sluggish onscreen guide performance; lacks parallel video output capability; subpar QAM performance.
The Bottom Line: The Samsung SIR-T451 tuner pulls in free over-the-air HDTV broadcasts, but you'll find better-performing tuners on most current HDTV models.
