If you want to buy a device to bring your old analog TV into the 21st century, a digital TV set top box is the easiest way to go about it. All you need to do is plug it into your TV antenna and connect it to your TV, and you'll have future-proof access to digital and analog TV. We've rounded up all the digital TV set top boxes and personal video recorders we've reviewed in the last year.
6 / 12
The Akai AD185X is a reliable HD set-top box with the added benefit of free-to-air TV recording (via USB). It can be picked up for less than $100, which means it's pretty hard to pass up.
