Please post which converter yoiu have and rate it. Are yoiu
satisfied, or dissatisfied? What are it's pros and cons? And in
particular, how well does it perform in a fringe area?

Thanks

Jim


We got two, a Zenith 901 and a Tivax T8. The Tivax got better reviews in
terms of picture quality and the program guide. No question the picture
improved a lot on digital, why anyone would say not to expect an improvement
is beyond me, it's instantly noticeable. However it seems like a lot of
material is still being broadcast in fairly crappy quality, I don't know if
that's poor sources like worn-out videotapes or some channels just have the
quality knob set to medium. Good luck with being in a fringe area, that
looks like it's going to be a problem for many folks.
