converter box, which one?

[iml]

My coupons expire tomorrow so I need to order my two converter boxes.

I was going to get one TR-40CRA for sure, dish charges $10 shipping though (or $20 if I order 2).

I was wondering if this is still one of the best options (if so I would just get two) or if there was another one I should use my other coupon on.

Also, has anyone found a place that will ship cheaper?

I got my two boxes and only paid $12.95 total for shipping +tax. The shipping is per order, not per box.

I used SolidSignal for my two also.


Shipping was $12.95 for FedEx Ground. No tax. It must depend on where you live.

Isn't Sears selling these? I picked up the Zenith box a while back from Circuit City for $45, so I paid $5 plus tax.

Sears offers the DTVPal.

DTVPal/TR-40CRAp same box different price still one of the best but like DISH equipment comes with minor bugs.

Of all the ones I have dealt with, the DTVpal/TR40 ist the best.

The TR40 is pretty darn good for the money - compared to anything I could find locally. The tuner is unbelievably sensitive, as I was able to pickup two different stations from over 60 miles away using rabbit ears. I couldn't even get a blip, let alone a viewable signal with the same antenna on a couple of the wal-mart tuners.

I ended up just getting two of them (from solidsignal).

I was running out of time to look for a different model with my second coupon.
