I use an RCA ATSC21 Set-top box with excellent results. I get over 15
freeze-free channels plus some not-so-strong... (I DO have to turn the
antenna) and that doesn't even include the subchannels - most DTV stations
are simulcasting several channesl in their digital transport stream. Street
price 6 mo. ago when I purch. was abt. $375, probably less now...
Basically, I can get all the major networks anytime I want - including NBC,
ABC, FOX, CBS, UPN, WB, PBS, and some independents...I was able to compare
an older Panasonic, and an older RCA DTC100 Settop box with a built-in
Directv receiver, and the ATSC21 outperformed them both by far. It handles
multipath the best of any I've seen, and is at least 6db more sensitive
than the 1999 model Panasonic (but then so are most newer STBs...) I've
also heard Samsung's TU-151 is a good unit, but have no personal experience
with it. (Also, I think I omitted some characters from the Samsung's model
number...) Zenith / LG electronics has a good one, too I hear... Hope this
helps.

Can anyone tell me of a low cost way to get digital tv on analog tvs.
Cable
is not available in my area and I don't
know where I can get a low cost converter. Thanks, Mac
