I got an AccessHD DTA1080D DTV decoder yesterday,hooked it up and
watched a few hours of TV.
After the initial scan,it received more channels than my other
decoder,Magnavox TB100MW9 (with same antenna,same location),but even
with a "good" signal indication,there was pixelling and a scratchy
audio.
After awhile,those symptoms went away,BUT,when I switched
channels,ones I originally had were now "no signal found",and all the
signal levels were very low,nearly unusable.It had lost much
sensitivity. The box itself was fairly hot,even the F-connectors were
hot,uncomfortable to touch. I'm going to try to return it for
another.
The remote control was much better than the Magnavox remote.
It came with a wallwart style switching regulator PS.
I would prefer the Access decoder IF it worked right.
Switching back to the MW9 decoder,the channels were all fine,and that
box doesn't very warm at all.
You can't get basic cable TV in your area?

Why should I pay for TV? cable is a rip-off.
Sounds like your "free" over-the-air is poor quality.
IIRC _basic_ is pretty cheap, and high quality. (I personally get the
whole enchilada so I can watch movies and The Tudors ;-)

Free over the air is all digital soon, and they are not compressed to
narrow
the bandwidth, nor given to you in a converted to analog mode. What I
need
is an Atsc tuner for my 1080 HD computer monitor it only has an analog
tuner
built in.
Like this?

It'll work as long as your monitor has an HDMI input.

Error reading FAT record: Try the SKINNY one? (Y/N)
It has a DVI input, all that needs is a different cable.
Careful with that assumption. Thanks to the DRM required by the MPAA, if
the decoder can't negotiate with a valid display over the HDMI, it may
refuse to work. Or it might default to low resolution mode.
