Yeah the zenith is supposed to be good, red reports on the AFB newsletter.
But none of those boxes are totally accessible. I don't have to worry about
them as have cable through at&t u-verse which also gives me a great

Get a coupon for a converter box. Zenith ones are $60 at circuit city less
the $40 coupon of course. They actually work very well have a tone for
signal strength even. Has rf out and audio video out.
