which dtv converter box is best?
I recently obtained my two coupons. I used one of them to buy the Zenith DTT-900 unit which has been favorably reviewed thus far, particularly in regard to its RF front end. I use it in conjunction with an indoor cubic quad VHF/UHF antenna made by Terk that seems to work pretty well for both TV bands.
Around the DC area, most stations are on UHF for their digital broadcasts, and the fact of the matter is that any regular old TV antenna is all that is required for digital reception. There is no such thing as a digital or HDTV-specific antenna, although a lot of advertising tries to convince consumers otherwise.
I am going to hold on to the other coupon until it nears expiration, which is 90 days, to see what other converters become available a bit later on. The prices should also decline.
