Thanks for the mini review. Some questions for you.

I would be curious to know about how far are you from the DTV transmitters and are they up high on a mountain top or on some high rise buildings? Are you "line of sight" to the transmitters or do you have a few obstructions in your "view"?

I believe we still have a handful of stations broadcasting DTV from high rise buildings downtown and another set of stations that are sharing a large tower on a mountain top. These transmitting locations are about 45-degrees apart. So in my case, I will either need to rotate the antenna about 45-degrees or get two of them pointed 45-degrees apart. Or... if the signals are strong enough, I could try an antenna that isn't too directional and point it in between the two transmitting locations.

I may head out to Best Buy today and see if I can find those Zenith DTV boxes. My coupons are good until August 4th. I believe the Zenith model number is DTT900?? What type of connections are on the back of this unit? How do you like the remote control?

Thanks!
