I keep reading that the Zenith DTV converter is one of the best.
Because I live in a rural area, I am limited to Walmart with their RCA
and Magnavox brands. However, I'm willing to drive to one of the
larger cities if I can get the Zenith. My problem is what stores
carry that brand? I know the nearest large city has Best Buy, Sears,
Target, Kmart, and a few other possible stores. Does anyone know
which stores carry the Zenith? Also, is there just one Zenith model,
or are there more? If I cant find this brand, are there other really
good converters?

I'm in a fringe (rural) area, and need one that will really pull in
stations. I do have one converter already, an Apex brand. It was one
of the early models. I cant say anything really bad about it, other
than the remote buttons being too small, but I went from getting 8
analog channels to only 4 channels on digital. I'm hoping another
brand will do better.

Thank U

Honestly all of those boxes seem like junk to me. Are there any that aren't
just cheap crap made in China? I know zenith's name was bought out years
ago.

I can't speak for the absolute quality (sensitivity, image quality) of the
DT-900, but it's a nice product. It's cosmetically attractive and /looks/
well-made, and is easy to use (it practically sets itself up). It is not
cheap crap or junk.

I don't blame you for not wanting to buy Chinese products, but American
businesses are more interested in immediate profits than attempting to
compete using American labor.

I actually did some research about Zenith. They were bought out by LG, a
Korean company. I know LG makes some farily good products, so I can
understand why this is a well made converter. I'm always aprehensive when I
see an old defunct American brand name on a new piece of equipment.

About the American companies, that is an unfortunate truth.

We (the U.S.) have forfeited whatever manufacturing capabilities we once
had in the downward rush to the bottom line, and have nobody to blame
for this but ourselves.

Personally, I like Vista, but I probably won't use it. I like it
because it generates considerable business for me in consulting and
upgrades. As long as there is hardware and software out there that
doesn't work, I stay in business. Incidentally, my company motto is
"If this stuff worked, you wouldn't need me".

My cell phone is an LG. The company is actually Lucky Goldstar, a name not
likely to inspire confidence in American customers.
