Really.. I didn't do the exact math but I would say the percentages are approaching 200%.. lol
My OTA digital tuners are my 2 Dish Network receivers so I voted "other".
A ViP722 DVR and a ViP211 (converted into a DVR using a EHD and of course that $40 fee Dish charges).
So far I am only using an amplified indoor antenna (RCA model ANT-1450) on the wndow sill and I am getting stuff from 70 miles away so I will be adding a roof top antenna soon. |

It's the percentage of people voting who own a given box. Since you can choose multiple boxes, it's not going to total up to 100%.

I've got an Insignia NS-DXA1-APT connected to my sons Tivo in his room. At the cabin I have a Dish Network DTVPal Plus. In the HT room is a Dish Network DTVPal DVR for the HD experience. I've had no humming or glitches from any of the CECBs or the tuner, other than issues relating to the DTV transition. I had problems getting the TVGOS working properly until after the full transition. Everything is great now. |

Im looking to pick up a DTVPal, what is the lowdown on which variation to get on that one? Build date, where to buy, etc. That seems to be a well liked platform (due to its user friendly and great EPG guide right?) Dish Network has lots of experience with that, so makes sense.
Im also going for a Sunkey. I heard Trip has one of these. Any info on that Trip? Im specifically looking for Manual Add Channel, Dual Signal Meters with bars and numbers, and meters that allow you to snoop faint signals. The Zenith allowed that with there meter, but no numbers and only the one meter, not duals....but their bar graph didnt lock channels until 5 or so, so you could see faint signals down in the 1 to 3 range.

1. DigitalStream model (worked fine but then decided to lose the ability to gain signal at all, was shortly before a house fire which destroyed my home in February so i never got to test it after i had unplugged it)

Boy, thats the pits! I hope it wasnt a CECB that was the culprit! |

I bought the Sunkey because the Apex DT502 worked REALLY well with WBRA-DT 3 and the Sunkey had the same chip. It was pretty poor on UHF, but it held that low-VHF signal through some pretty bad electrical interference, whereas the Zenith was pretty bad at it. The problem with the Apex was that it did not have manual channel entry, and as a DXer, that drove me insane.
The Sunkey is a pretty decent box. It seems to be really good with VHF but average at UHF. I haven't done any really extensive testing with it, but I like it when I've used it. It does have the dual signal reading with numbers, which is very interesting to use.
Anything else you want to know about it?

Its got a Samsung tuner?
Not that sensitive on UHF! UGH! You think this might just be manufacturing variation?
Also how do the meters read.....lock at 50 percent or do they lock signal at lick 10 or 15 percent?
