Our family are considering purchasing a Set Top Box in an attempt to improve the fringe-signal ghosting and snow that currently constitutes our TV picture.

Most models advertise that they can be firmware updated for increased functionality, and they all say the same thing: "Just download the .exe file, connect the RS232 to your computer's COM 1 port ..." [Sigh]

The joys of 2% market share. So how is everyone else dealing with this?

Thanks.
