Zinwell ZAT-970A receives digital broadcast signals and converts to analog, for analog tuner TV sets. Built in VCR Timer with 8 slots to work with your VCR for recording programs.

On June 12, 2009, U.S. broadcast television is switching from analog to digital signals. Analog televisions using an antenna will require a converter box to receive broadcast TV after that date.

I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find anything decent for watching tv once the conversion takes place. I took a chance on the Zinwell and it’s a night-and-day improvement.

I plugged it in, connected the coaxial cables and immediately I was met with the very large and easy-to-read menu. Within seconds, it had scanned all available channels and I was watching digital channels with great picture and sound. Certain channels came in better when I adjusted the antenna, but most were perfect as-is.

The on-screen menu tells you the HD resolution and you can change the aspect ratio to make channels look better since some are 4:3 and some are widescreen. On each channel, the display tells you the current show and what is coming up next. Close captioning, sleep timer and show scheduling are also available.

The remote is laid out very well and comes with batteries.
