DTV Converter Box

OK, I know I'm down to the wire here, but I have been looking for a Digital Television Converter Box for my analog television. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would love to have one that has a programmable guide so that I can record my favorite shows on my dvd player.
Thanks

I was wondering about this, too. I heard somewhere that DTV reception will be better, that if you get it it won't have distortion like a normal antenna has. Sounds too good to be true, though.

That can't be real! Sanyo products self-destruct within 15 minutes of purchase.
