RCA DTA800B

(DTV converters)

"Easy to set up, great remote, intuitive layout, Info button on remote great. Upstairs using a GE Optima able to pick up Channel 41 from Eagan (~40 miles), downstairs I use a Radio Shack 15-1892 (amplified directional) for same reception. Remember digital very sensitive to metal or reflections, watch air ducts in walls. Can not rest electronics on DTV box or will scramble picture. Smart Antennae from RCA/Audiovox coming out soon (RCA ANT2000) will probably solve any directional issues especially for those surrounded by TV Stations. For those other DTV Boxes I have found the RCA ANT1500 outstanding."
