I've been noting weekly ads for $22 VCRs including tuners at a time when the least expensive advertised DTT receiver/decoder boxes (when they're advertised at all) are $200. You could always share a receiver/decoder between a display and a recorder -- unless you ever want to watch one thing and record another.
