Just curious, where would one purchase one of these besides online,
should I want another (I already have two.) I bought mine at Circuit
****ty, but they seem to have taken their ball and gone home. I have
three old TV's but only bought two boxes because one of them is on
cable. Based on what I've seen online the Zenith really is the best
cheap box, and I have been happy with mine. It actually gets better
reception than the one TV that I have with a digital tuner (but
obviously a HD LCD TV has a better picture than an old CRT)

Google for reviews of boxes, Consumers Reports review has a link to
the review at google, what I have in seen in reviews local stores
dont carry what is best, they are online.

I have 3 tv's, all on cable, but I bought a box anyway. What ya gonna
do if the cable goes out just before the superbowl? Or goes out for a
week like mine did when a tornado tore up the neighborhood?

Actually, if I were watching the super bowl at home, I'd use one of the
converter boxes. Get a better picture that way. seriously.

We got the Zenith at Radio Shack, the Tivax we bought online. Quite a price
range on the same model from different places, you can save thirty or forty
bucks shopping around.

Absolutely. Much less likely the air will break, and very unlikely
to break at the same time as the cable.

But I've decided to postpone the switchover for 3 or 4 months.

Besides them, there was Radio Shack, and either Best Buy, or Walmart.
Between the three of them they only had 4 models. Plus local stores.
There's one in Baltimore selling 2 different modes that none of the
big 3 stores had. Maybe nicer, didn't have ttime to check.
