Its a great box, runs cool, has a real metal case, and has a very sensitive tuner. The only gripes are the tiny unlit remote and the ancient looking onscreen menus. Judging from the video, it looks like they updated their OSD to make it look more appealing to look at.
@vwestlife After the DTV transition is completed in Canada, (at least for the full power transmitters in the cities), a DTV converter box will help bring my vintage TVs back to life, but it's a shame that using the converter box bypasses the tuner on the TV. Having to use an external converter box as the tuner has been known to be confusing to some people.
The Zenith converter box is no longer being manufactured. It was sold through Circuit City stores, Kmart, and a number of regional electronics stores.

The Zenith DTV box is supposed to be one of the best. It is also sold by Best Buy under their house brand "Insignia."
I like the use of the vintage Zenith TV in the video. Those things are built to last!
