My local RS offered two boxes, so I bought one of each. One is a DigitalStream and the other a Zenith.
The DigitalStream is very compact and handles automatic switching of aspect ratios very well. It's only fault is that I have faint horizontal lines on the screen with that box.
The Zenith gives me a clear picture and also allows direct access to programming in channels without having to do a full scan. It's only drawback is that I often have to select the screen aspect ratio manually as it automatically letterboxes most 4:3 broadcasts.
Mind you, I'm using the factory set-top VHF "rabbit ears" to pick up UHF digital stations - I live within a few miles of the local transmitters.
I hope the DigitalStream will work well once I have my rooftop antenna installed.
