Latest K-Mart catalogue (beginning 5 March) has the Olin HD Set Top Box (HVBT-2000) for $79. Only available in black and no rainchecks.
I have had one of these for a while now and its a great unit. Switches channels fast too which can't be said for some of the others.
I couldn't find the catalogue online so had to link to K-Mart home page (which will have the catalogue soon enough).

This is a further $10 off the Target price of a few weeks ago
I'd like to know how long is the cable for aerial, can anyone help? Thanks!
It doesn't come with an aerial - you plug your cable from your existing aerial into the back of it (then connect the unit to your tv via RCA or HDMI cable).
See https://shop.1wow.com.au/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcatego… for pictures of this unit including the back.
BTW, I'm just using a Dick Smith indoor aerial & it gives a good enough signal for the unit. Apparently just needs about 50% signal strength & then becomes perfect reception (as long as no-one walks past my aerial, then it glitches for a bit, sometimes needs a wiggle).
oh? that's good to know, Thanks seanbsydney!
I recently lost reception to channel 7 and sbs with one of these. It won't even pick them up when scanning. Anyone had a similar scenario? My antenna maybe? bah
Maybe Ch7 is hard to "see"..
My brand name STB (Humax 1010T) can't pick up CH7 despite bing in line of sight with excellent Analogue reception and Signal in the 90% range.. For some reason I get 0% Signal quality.
Good buy, I got one at target at the same price the other week & have been happy with the unit, just using it via normal cables not HDMI (only because I don't need HDMI quality) but at this price it's great just to be able to get clear reception & extra HD channels.
