My bet is on WVIT in the New Haven market, it's an NBC O&O

A set top box or a TV? PM me if you're comfortable

Nothing really I can take risks

When I get it back from Phoenix, it'll make a good ATSC 1.0 DVR for me (it runs LG webOS!)

I'm guessing the release of the likely cheapy Korean box is going to be somewhere around the end of the month. If it costs me less than $250 to get and import it whenever it's released I'm going for it

Word on the street is the Korean government is currently pressuring one of the makers of the cheapy $40 CECBs to make one of them over there that's ATSC 3.0 compatible. The manufacturer claims it should be certified for RF emissions by the government and all that good stuff by February...
