Looking for a standalone tuner

[Maxxarcade]

Where can I buy a standalone tuner that will decode ATSC and QAM? I'm looking for one that can output 480P, 720P, or 1080i.

All I can find on Ebay are USB or other PC based tuners. I need something that will work with a plasma monitor which supports component or VGA input. Why is it so hard to find a box similar to what the cable company uses for digital stuff?

I'd also like it to be small, since the TV is wall mounted, and I don't want a shelf sticking way out.

Thanks, for some reason I couldn't find anything like that by using a search. And I sure wouldn't have thought to look at a place called Barrel Of Monkeys :-)

That's exactly what i need.

Look on ebay for a Samsung DTB-H260F. You might have to replace a few caps though...
