    OTA antenna for the attic!

    I think your performance will be very location and construction specific and using one of the online sites is a great suggestion to get a feel for what you can get. I set up a quick Radio Shack VHF/UHF antenna (the largest one I could get in the car) with a rotor in NC and is works perfect for...

    Digital converter

    $5 off the Digital Stream at Radio Shack this week. I have one and it is a nice converter. Wiki has a good comparison of features and models.

    Apex DT250A?

    Just picked one up and the case has vent holes in the top which I think is one difference. Another seems to be the instructions for manually entering and deleting channels in the manual (need to verify - wording is a little confusing to me). The box still has an S-video port and smart antenna...

    Apex DT250A?

    I've read the DT502 cleaned up the program guide and it uses less power but I also read you couldn't manually add a channel on a 502. I'd like the improvements but I also want to manually add channels so I wasn't sure about getting the 250A. Thanks for your post. I think I'll take a shot and see.

The saleman wasn't aware the DT250A existed :rolleyes: but once I showed him, he assumed they fixed some bugs. I just saw a mention...

    Some folks are digital TV DXing, I haven't personally yet but have read an article in Monitoring Times a year or so ago that folks have had TV DXing success with digital signals.

    Choices,Choices what converter box to buy

    CORRECTION! Is it August? Originally Apex DT250 was due in June based on some dealer websites. The June date disappeared and the Apex site was changed to reflect August availability. The rumor was that shipments arrived and sure enough Apex now points to Best Buy for availability and the BB...

    Choices,Choices what converter box to buy

    I've picked up and played with a couple Insignia boxes (original design - OK product), The Channel Master (disappointed with sensitivity, channel adding and S-video quality for the price but a nice guide), The Venturer (good basic cheap portable box) and the Digital Stream that has analog pass...
