Review: Zenith DTT900 digital TV box

The Zenith DTT900 is one of the digital TV boxes that shoppers can buy with a $40 DTV converter box coupon from the U.S. government, and it's worth a serious look. On arguably the most important features - reception and video quality - the DTT900 performs strongly, outperforming the other boxes we've looked at so far.

Rating: 7.0 out of 10, very good

The good: Solid video quality and reception; easy-to-use design, especially for digital TV amateurs; good aspect ratio controls for handling widescreen programs on standard TVs; attractive design; remote can control the TV's power.

The bad: Program guide is very basic; small remote control buttons aren't ideal for seniors; audio quality is subpar.

The bottom line: The Zenith DTT900 DTV converter box has an easy-to-use design and solid video quality, but buyers should be aware of cheaper - and possibly better - alternatives coming in the future.
