The converter box will be cheaper. But value per dollar does not compete considering the advantages of DTV and especially if that NTSC TV is too many years old. A new DTV would be a better value per dollar especially with prices falling so quickly and other features. DTV will still cost more. To be worthwhile, a converter box had to cost maybe $150.

I have not seen those converters priced; only read that their actual costs ended up being many times higher.
