NTIA APPROVES DTV-CONVERTER BOXES FROM MAGNAVOX, PHILCO
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]

That brings to five the number of approved boxes, which will not include bells and whistles like digital-video-recorder functionality because the government isn't subsidizing anything above the basic model.
