Which Zenith DTV Converter Box Is Better?

You have to be careful running digital signals thru a modulator since they tend to have pretty average amplifiers in them which cause some cross modulation if there is strong RF nearby - ends up with a bit of herringbone on analog stuff, but its death to digital.

A friend had the antenna looping thru 2 VCR's, a sat box and a DVD-R (all on different channels) and the resulting mess over the channels made the dtv tuner in a new tv just get pixelated mess.
