how to build my HDTV converter?

[A Sims]

Is there simple HDTV converter design out there that I can build my own
converter box? All I want is to use my antenna and receive local HD
broadcast. Who are the tuner makers out there? What are the chip available
set out there? Thank you.

I doubt it would be simple to slap together, but I just read here in
S.E.D. that off-air digital boxes are "$199"

What are the ATSC tuner maker?
What are the IC suppliers?
Any schematic available?

For playing around, how about an ATI HDTV Wonder card? Needs a 1.3 gig
processor, 256 meg RAM, 64 meg video card and an antenna. List price
$200. Recording software is included. It uses the Philips Maui module.

Thank you.
