Yes, but what percentage of the time do you end up having to return
electronic purchases made online? All this talk of reception problems,
maybe a need for a special antenna, possibly roof antenna, etc. makes me
think a return may be fairly likely. But maybe there is no real good

This is an ideal example of why web shopping is better. At local stores
the good stuff was always out of stock.

Avoid this one? Isn't this the one that is recommended by Consumer Reports
and the top vote getter in the CECB forum mentioned in this thread?

I believe that the Insignia box is a "Best Buy" in-house brand. It's
about $50 at Best Buy (maybe only $49.99, but . . . ). Interesting

just a different brand.
*Thanks for posting this. They seem to (overwhelmingly) like the Zenith
Insignia, but where can you get one? Amazon is out, Target and KMart don't
seem to carry it. Are all the good brands now gone? Is this another lesson
