Well I received the Eagle Aspen and hooked it up to the Zinwell and all I have to say is:

WOW !!!!!

Started off using the Zinwell coax with the antenna leaning on the back of the TV stand. Signal strength and quality was good for all stations except the Fox affiliate which is the furthest away.

I then remember I had some leftover coax from Comcast. Used that and hung the antenna about 10 feet high on the wall (looks a bit Clampett-like, oh well) and the signal strength and quality was 100% for all the stations except the Fox, which is at about 96% .

I forgot our local PBS went digital last year, so we now get 3 different PBS's.

I am shocked at the quality of the signal and picture, now I'm debating if we should upgrade to a HD TV or just stick with the old Toshiba.

I want to thank everybody for the advice on the Eagle Aspen. It is pretty well made and the price is right.

I'm no expert, but I think it would be hard to top the Zinwell box. It has a lot of features I didn't realize, like the zoom option for the different screen settings.

The only question I have is should I leave the converter box on all the time or turn it off when the TV is off?

Thanks to everyone who gave great advice. I'm really happy with the choices using your help.
