EscapeVelocity

I have a Zenith DTT901 (well that may be wishful thinking, its gotten off somewhere and I wouldnt be surprised if it never made it back).

So

I was contemplating trying another one. Id like to get 2 one with good meters for testing antennas and snooping transmissions, and one with good program guide.....but I need good sensitive tuners as well.

After much contemplation....Ive arrived at this list in no particular order.

Apex DT 502A
Zinwell ZAT 970A
Dish DTVpal Plus

and perhaps the Tivax either T8 or T9.

Anybody know anything about the Tivax's?


Apex 502A = Samsung DTVS22D tuner.
DTVpal Plus = MicroTune MT2131 tuner.
Zinwell 970A = Sanyo UBD00AL tuner.

Im familiar witht the Sanyo tuner from the Zenith DTT900 I had at one time....and the LG Innotek TDVG-H151F tuner from the Zenith DTT901 somebody is keeping care of for me.

The Dish has the best guide....and VCR timers.
The early production Zinwell 970a's have hidden EPG gems and extended days, I think.....and great dual meters Quality and Strength.....and VCR timers.
The Apex has great dual meters.....and S Video hookup.

How many days on the Dish DTVpal and Apex DT 502A EPG guides?
