Whatever the DT502 has, the Sunkey has it as well.

It wasn't as good as the Zenith was on UHF. I didn't compare it to my other tuners. I was too amused with my side-by-side comparison of WBRA-DT. Unwatchable on the Zenith, clean on the Apex.

Also how do the meters read.....lock at 50 percent or do they lock signal at lick 10 or 15 percent?
I don't remember. My Sunkey is currently in its box propping up my antenna into the one position where it decodes WSET. Remind me on Saturday when I get home and I'll check on it for you.

I think it started breaking up around 52 on the signal quality, but don't quote me on that.

The fire wasn't caused by the CECB. in fact i unplugged it to avoid a fire. the fire started in the living room and the Digitalstream CECB was in the bedroom. i never got around to testing it later as the fire put that one, well, to bed.
