[BC] Digital converters remote question

[Dana Puopolo]

The Echostar will not be out until at least mid summer. It's supposed to
retail for $40.00 so the only cost will be tax and/or shipping. Find me a
Philco and I'll buy it! No one can find them anywhere!

According to the list that came with the coupon only two- the 
Echostar and Philco have analog pass-through.

  The more expensive ones have remote volume- but probably not any of 
the $50 boxes..

  All the ones I've seen have a way to turn off the automatic 
shut-off in the set-up menu.

   I think it's too bad that no one has made a comprehensive 
tabulation of all the models comparing features and performance but 
there is not  a lot of difference because to be eligible for the $40 
coupon they can only have certain basic features.
