[SBE] RCA Model DTA800B1

[Bob Reite]

I haven't personally tried the RCA, but others have reported it as being 
inferior.   Stay away from Wally World, go to Circuit City or Radio 
Shack and pick up a Zenith DTT900, which I have personally tested.  I've 
also tested the Channel Master CM-7000.  It has S-video output as well 
as composite and RF outputs, the Zenith just has RF and composite video 
outputs.   RF wise, the performance of the Zenith and the Channel Master 
are identical.  The electronic Program guide in the Zenith only shows 
the current and next program, the Channel Master shows the current and 
the next three shows.   The remote control on the Zenith can be set up 
to turn the power on and off on most common TV sets, the Channel Master 
remote can only control the converter box.
