The first thing you'll notice about the DTT's included remote control is that it's small. That's unfortunate, because we actually liked the button layout on the remote, but it's not a good option for older buyers with less-than-perfect eyesight. We liked the inclusion of a variety of buttons, such as a handy signal strength checker, the zoom button, and closed-captioning.
We also liked how the remote handled digital substations--if you hit 4 on the remote, a menu pops up on the screen allowing you to choose which channel 4. Also note that it is capable of controlling a TV, although that capability is limited to turning it on and off.
Features The DTT includes a very basic program. Hitting the guide button brings up the "Simple Guide," which shows what's currently on a channel and what will be on next. The EPGs on more advanced products such as TiVo or even standard digital cable boxes usually show more information, such as program data for several hours in the future for several channels at a time. It's definitely better than nothing--which may be what many buyers of this box are used to--but there's definitely room for improvement.
Aspect ratio is handled well on the DTT This is an important feature because the DTT will most commonly be used with older, analog TVs with a standard aspect ratio, but an increasing amount of digital TV is presented in wide screen The DTT has four options, which you can cycle through with the "Zoom" button on the remote. While it's a nice addition to the feature set over its predecessor, the DTT , its usefulness will be limited for most users, since after February 17, the vast majority of analog TV broadcasts will stop.
There are, however, some low-power analog stations that will continue to use analog broadcasts, and some people may still be able to pick up some international analog TV broadcasts if they currently receive them.
The DTT has a basic set of connectivity options. There are two RF-style F connectors, which are the connectors that have the screw threads on the outside and the small hole inside. One is an antenna input and should be connected to the antenna using a coaxial cable. This means you can send analog video and audio from the DTT to your TV by connecting a coaxial cable. In addition to the F connectors, the DTT has a composite video output, along with stereo RCA analog outputs--the standard yellow, red, and white outputs.
If your TV has the proper inputs, you should use this output, as it offers superior audio and video quality over the RF connection. Mostly everything you need to get the DTT running is included in the box. There are two cables--an RF cable and a composite video cable with stereo audio cables. A single AAA battery for the remote is also included in the box.
We haven't been able to test this functionality on any of the boxes yet, but the Smart Antennas we've seen are so expensive we find it hard to believe it's worth the money for connecting to such a bargain DTV box.
This should only matter if you currently have a TV that has an S-Video input. Performance Reception performance on the DTT was solid.
