The DTC-200 is suppose to be the next generation HD box from RCA. I don't really know any more then that. The DTC-100 is not being made any more so you have to find someone who has some left. I heard Rat Shack still has them but I don't know for sure. You can always find them on Ebay.

Are you saying you have choices of cable companies in your area? We don't have that in FL. It's either one cable co. or sat. A/V is my hobby so I really don't mind the equipment and tweaks they require. I would say most of the problems with the DTC-100 were when they first came out other then the ongoing issue of no component out. RCA through Directv sent firmware and addressed most of the issues. My Pioneer RPTV has VGA in so the component issue was not a problem for me. As far as my picture quality it may not be the best but I have yet to find one better. I did have the TV ISF'ed. I have never seen a cable picture come close that's why I got rid of it. :)
