Bought Zinwell's ZAT 970A as only one available. Not satisfied with inconsistent reception. On perfect day will get 4 Ontario channels in English and 4 Quebec channels in French. Seldom a perfect day. Frequently lose channel reception. Even after watching without any problems for hours or even after entirely good days, will stop receiving. Yesterday it changed channel by itself. Spent money on digital signal antenna, but made no difference. Sent email to Zinwell, but they deferred to store where purchased - of no help. Will have to save for digital TV.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127332643110937777.post-15411753726559170672012-01-27T14:52:02.691-07:002012-01-27T14:52:02.691-07:00Buy a Zeith DTT901 i have had these for 3 years wi...Buy a Zeith DTT901 i have had these for 3 years with no probs.

The clock is not a 24 hour type. For example, the digits will let you change them to whatever you want, so it will let you type 20:00 for 8:00pm but then will reset to 12:00 because it doesn't undersatnd 20:00. You would have to type 08:00 and change the am to pm, then it will work.
