Dave A, if you are desperate, Circuit City(at least in my area) is selling an Samsung ASTC tuner with composite video output(169.95). This can be used with a RF converter. The RF converters are very common with Wal-Mart selling them as well as electronic equipment stores.
This is what I am doing at present, but with both a used ATSC tuner from Ebay($ less than $50) and the RJTech model available from Newegg.com($80). Of these two, the used one seems to be of better quality. I think this is because it is from a defunct cable TV company.
Of course, there is no coupon discount for these tuners and it takes two items vs the one that will be needed with the mandated converter(with RF outut). However, it does demonstrate that an analog TV(even a very old one) can display Digital TV.
