seek2find3 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I looked around the forums, did searches and what not, and didn't see anything on this yet. Hope I am not beating a dead horse here. I am trying to purchase a GEX-P5700TV TV Tuner, but apparently, they aren't selling them anymore as of January 1st. I called Pioneer directly and they have no knowledge of this, but I called every shop around and spoke to the Pioneer rep for the NorthEast and he is unable to get one as well. I also checked a ton of online shops and they all say Out Of Stock. They were available before Christmas, but not now. Does anyone have any information on this. I saved up my pennies and would like to purchase one, but can't find one now. I have the Avic Z1. Feel free to email me at elijahj32000@yahoo.com if you have any information or have one to sell. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 as of jan 1st they are officially discontinued from pioneer. the new FCC rules state that any new stand alone tv tuners that are made in 07 and beyond are ATSC (HD) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seek2find3 Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Well, that about answers that then, doesn't it. Thanks for the quick reply and the information. I guess I will just start looking for a used one now. I haven't seen much on Ebay. I should probably call Pioneer back and let them know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 we know, just not allowed to say anything yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
apax Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 so are they going to make digital tv tuners? cuz i just bought my tuner 2-3 months ago.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 no plans for that just yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seek2find3 Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Thanks again for the information guys. If anyone has one or knows of someone selling one, send them my way. I have been keeping an eye on Ebay, but there hasn't been much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PhatBoyG Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 You can't sell regular tuners anymore (as said above) and buying one now seems kind of a bad idea since they have to stop broadcasting on analog in the near (or perhaps not so near) future. I new HD tuner should be soon, you can get them for the PC for under $100 now with full broadcast HD (1920x1080i). Of course, that would be drastically scaled down to the 480x234 or whatever you get with the in-dash screens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 2009 is the analog cut off date just FYI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznsmartass24 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 sure 2009 is the deadline, but we all know no one will be ready by that time. Watch it get pushed back 2 more years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 sure 2009 is the deadline, but we all know no one will be ready by that time. Watch it get pushed back 2 more years. your right, it has already been pushed back before Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I saw one on Craigslist a few days ago while looking for some other accessories. You might check there I looked around the forums, did searches and what not, and didn't see anything on this yet. Hope I am not beating a dead horse here.

seek2find3 Posted January 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Awesome, thanks. I see the one out on Craigslist. I will contact him today and see what he says. I don't mind spending $200-$300 even if it is only for two years at the least. I know someone who has one installed out here and they get a great signal. Who knows, maybe it will get pushed back another year. Even if... Thanks again everyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
