These features are pretty standard nowadays, and unfortunately, the Zinwell doesnвЂ™t have any of these.

All modern digital TV converters can (and should) at least feature a USB slot to enable playback and recording via an external hard drive, and also be able to support 1080P and Dolby Digital audio.

The first model I removed during this update was the highly overpriced and clearly outdated Zinwell ZAT-970A. Common secondary features of DTAs (Digital TV Adapters) вЂ“ also commonly known as converter boxes or decoder boxes вЂ“ include recording and scheduling capabilities, a built-in clock, program guide, and support for closed captions and multiple languages вЂ“ in fact, these are virtually standard on these devices, though the level of sophistication of each of these features may vary from model to model. ThatвЂ™s why IвЂ™ve focused less on including models based on their display specs and other technical features, and more based on durability and removing models with other issues, as poorly designed devices are often prone to overheating, and is one of the reasons IвЂ™ve removed the Leelbox models, despite being fond of the brand myself, and added off-brand models like the Ubisheng U-003 instead. Antennas themselves wonвЂ™t discriminate between digital and analog channels, though most OTA channels have switched to digital format in recent years, meaning that they tend to broadcast on the UHF band, and the way they send data is also different, and a lot more efficient вЂ“ data is sent in packages and takes up less bandwidth than analog transmission.ДЄs analog TVs can only display 480i, the maximum support resolution may largely be irrelevant in the vast majority of applications, unless you're using a computer monitor or other digital display.
