[SBE] Set-top Box Success Stories Zenith

[Jeremy D. Morris]

I just got my coupons.  I'm thinking about putting one in our shop.  I
haven't gone shopping for one yet.  Does this coupon cover the whole
cost or do you still have to pay out of pocket?

I've got  the new Zenith DT-900 boxe (made by LG) with the new
generation 6 chips in them. The results are nothing less than
impressive. We have a 9" tv in our dining room where my wife and I watch
Wheel and Jeapordy every evening during dinner.  I am employing a really
poor pair of old fashioned rabbit ears (not exactly ideal for UHF) and
reception is amazingly good.  I live within ten miles of the Boston
transmitters, but I also receive a Worcester station from 20 miles away
and the two Providence stations with UHF DTV channels from 40 miles
away, with no problem.   What's truly interesting is that I can look at
the signal strength meter and watch it vary with the wind and the
traffic outside my home, yet the video remains solid.  That's not to say
that I never have to adjust the rabbit ears, but I do so a lot less
often then when I was looking at analog.
