Converter box packed with useful features

 

Converter box packed with useful features

I liked this box so much I bought two of them. A useful feature is a signal strength bar down at the bottom of the screen that appears when you push a button on the remote, great for when you are adjusting the antenna. The same display option also...

ZAT 950A TIMERS DON'T WORK PROPERLY

 

ZAT 950A TIMERS DON'T WORK PROPERLY

I bought the Zinwell ZAT-950A because I wanted to use it with my VCR and TV to time shift programs. I found that if I used it on a daily basis (manully turning off and on) it seemed to work okay. But if I left it for a few days, then it would switch...

Zinwell ZAT-950A Program Timer Failure

 

Zinwell ZAT-950A Program Timer Failure

After a few days of research, I narrowed my choice of TV converter box to this one, mainly because of its programmable timer. I bought two of these in April 2009. I was satisfied with their performance, even though you can't watch a different channel...

Zinwell ZAT-950A Digital to Analog TV Converter Box

Checked this device out in Consumers on-line reports before I purchased any one of the many out there. This one is as advertised, very good picture and easy to set up. I suggest the use of a good UHF/VHF amplified antenna.

Excellent Converter for the money!

 

Excellent Converter for the money!

Although I have cable, several olders TV's in the house are not hooked up to it. We purchased three different converter boxes. The first was without appropriate review information. However, the Zinwell ZAT-950A was reviewed by Consumer Reports and...

A great product at a good price!

I purchased this unit to use with a standard definition TV, and am quite pleased. The setup was fast and easy, and it worked right out of the box. Picture quality on my old standard def TV is as good, if not better than that on my five-year old...

ZAT-950A Converter

The picture on this unit is pretty high quality although I am viewing only with a 17" JVC monitor at this time. The tuner pulls in signals better than the digital tuner on my Magnavox DDR. Better signal strength and stability on the same indoor...

Pretty good, but not outstanding

 

Pretty good, but not outstanding

I've been playing around with three DTV converter boxes over the past three months (Magnavox, DTV-Pal, and this Zinwell), and none of them stands out above the rest. They all do about the same thing, providing excellent picture quality over their...
