TV Converter Box

I receive two $40 TV converter box coupons this morning. After doing some researches, I limit my choices to three brands: Tivax STB-T8, Zenith DTT901 and Channel Master CM-7000. Channel Master CM-7000 has S-video output that provides the best picture quality of the three. Zenith DTT901 gets very good reviews from Amazon and Avsforum. Both are $10 more than Tivax STB-T8 on Amazon.
I decide to go with Tivax STB-T8 at a total cost of $9.99. The reasons are: (1) I am not sure if we have good reception of over-the-air channels, if not, the use of the box will be limited; (2) All TV converter boxes cannot be connected to the cable to receive clear QAM signals; (3) We may buy HDTVs with build-in TV tuners in the near future.
