For the best converter boxes, we've had a few good reviews on the following:

http://www.dtvusaforum.com/dish-netw...us-review.html

http://www.dtvusaforum.com/zenith-dt...es-dtt900.html

http://www.dtvusaforum.com/rca-dta-8...-800-cecb.html



If you're wanting an antenna recommendation, we're going to need more informaion:

How far away from the broadcast towers are you? (visit TV Fool - Home and plug in your information, or take a guess)

What is your city, and state?

Are there any obstructions around your house or dwelling?

In the mean time, one of our moderators has a great antenna review thread at: http://www.dtvusaforum.com/dtv-recep...a-reviews.html

I've got the RCA DTA800 converter box and it works pretty good for me. Easy setup, and receives all of the DTV stations with a powered antenna.

There are a lot of different options available for converter boxes, but the RCA seems to have the least amount of complaints.
