The RCA DTA800 has a better remote-which is excellent for seniors with poor eyesight-and the Dish Network DTVPal has more features, but if video quality and reception are your top priorities, the DTT901 will serve you well. However, these caveats are for the most part overshadowed the DTT901's other strengths it is a good choice for your government-subsidized coupon. We did have some nitpicks: the remote is too small, audio quality is subpar, and we would have liked a full-scale EPG (onscreen electronic program guide). On arguably the most important features-reception and video quality-the DTT901 performs strongly, outperforming the other boxes we've looked at so far. The Zenith DTT901 is one of the DTV boxes that shoppers can buy with the coupon, and it's worth giving a serious look. Luckily, it shouldn't cost you too much, as anyone affected can apply for a $40 DTV converter box coupon from the U.S.

That means owners of analog TVs will need to pony up for a DTV converter box if they want to continue getting their free over-the-air TV (read our Quick Guide to the DTV transition to find out if you'll be affected).

The FCC has pushed back the DTV transition several times already, but it looks as if it will shut off over-the-air analog TV signals on February 17, 2009.
