You can't get them for free anymore now that the government coupon program has ended, but if you still have an old analog TV, VCR or DVD recorder, you can still give it years of extra use by adding a digital converter box. Choices are slim, but some surprisingly good performers remain available and most are relatively inexpensive.
The best of the bunch is the Channel Master CM-7000 -- so widely liked by experts and users alike that the manufacturer recently brought it back into production. If you want a digital TV converter to use with a VCR or DVD recorder, the Zinwell ZAT-970A has to be a top consideration thanks to its multiple built-in timers.
