Zenith’s new DTT901 digital TV converter box has analog pass-through capability – meaning it is able to pick up and display low-power stations that have not yet converted to digital. The device is smaller than a hardback book (8 inches by 7 inches by 2 inches) and comes with a universal remote offering one-touch closed captioning control, a “What’s on Next” program guide button, a “sleep” timer and a button that will allow the viewer to check for signal strength when the tuner is dialed into a particular channel. The box exceeds Energy Star requirements, drawing just five watts in active mode and less

A few good HDTVs that don't require a second mortgage You don't have to be a famous athlete or wealthy businessperson to enjoy HDTV right now. While you'll still need a decent chunk of change, numerous HDTV-capable sets on the market today retail for less than $1,000. That doesn't mean you're getting all of the bells and whistles of the more expensive HDTVs. These sub-$1,000 TVs are usually "only" HDTV monitors, lacking built-in ATSC (HDTV) tuners, which means you need to buy a set-top box tuner yourself for a few hundred bucks or lease one from your cable or satellite provider. They also don't

The Great CES Gear Round-Up
March 2003 From E-Gear
Another year, another Consumer Electronics Show (CES), where manufacturers come to present their latest electronic wonders to the digitally deprived world. Held in Las Vegas, amid one-armed bandits, neon lights and casino resorts disguised as old European cities, CES is the most exiting event of the year for gadget fans. It's too bad they're not allowed to attend, unless they work in the industry (CES isn't open to the public). For big screen video junkies, it looks like the future will mean flat-panel TVs for everyone. Small and large LCD TVs were everywhere, dominating the show's main hall. In fact, the light
