Samsung SIR-TS160

Samsung SIR-TS160

The Samsung SIR-TS160 is a combination ATSC OTA HD tuner and DirecTV HDTV set-top box. It retains the DVI/HDCP of the SIR-T165 along with the NTSC tuner, the four selectable scan rates, front-panel buttons, all-metal chassis, and brushed-aluminum front finish. It loses the alphanumeric display (but keeps the fold-down door with window-an obvious cost-saving move), FireWire, and scaler.
