I just unwrapped mine I got from Circuit City. It is a Zenith (made in
China) and it does not seem to do well on the cheap pair of rabbit ears I
have. This however is not surprising as the rabbit ears did not do too well
on analog either. My TV is the monitor style so I can use the direct audio
and video connectors so I don't have to go through double tuners.
When I did get a signal however it was crystal clear, so I am hopeful that
when I rig up the roof top antenna I will have a good selection.
I can get cable, but refuse to pay for TV that should be free.
I wish they had display units so you could actually see what the differences
are between the units, but Circuit City only had one model and no interest
in hooking up one for a display.

they come up with this striped stuff.
