SIGNAL METER: The device has separate indicators for signal strength and signal quality, similar to those on late-model TV sets.Splitting an antenna input for both, signals behave similarly. RECEPTION: What I can receive on my TV, I can receive with the converter box.It's easy to re-scan to add more channels. CHANNEL SETUP: The initial channel scan begins at first boot.Here are a few points you might find useful if you're wondering if this product is right for you.
So last week, I acquired a Zinwell ZAT-970A, which I've hooked into the AV inputs of my hard-drive recorder. Seeing how I had a negative run-in with a Tivax converter box last year, I figured I would try another make and model. Not wanting to shell out hundreds of dollars for either an OTA HD PVR (either manufactured or self-built) or a cable-based PVR solution, I decided this summer I would adapt my existing LG hard-drive recorder to record digital OTA television.
