Best deal on DTV set-top receivers

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

I'm going DTV. My research doesn't reveal too many DTV set-top boxes.
Samsung Sir-150 and LG LST-3100A are the only two that I found. Some
article that I read says LG LST-3100A is newer and better than Samsung
Sir-150. Any other DTV receiver on the U.S. market?

Another question, do all HDTV set-top boxes have the capability to
receive DTV if cable or sat is not used? If so, a HDTV does cable and
sat and off-air is even better.

I just got the LG (with DVD player built in) and am having reception
problems. I don't know if it's the receiver or just my reception in general,
but whether I go over the air or cable, I cannot seem to reliably hold a
HDTV signal.
