I am very pleased with the Zenith tuner, I was able to find the DTT-901 with has signal pass-thorugh and fixes that left channel sound bug. It's ability to tune in stations from so far away with just a small set-top antenna is very impressive. I'm using it on a plain bedroom SDTV. The remote is perfectly fine, a little small, but it only takes 1 AAA battery and works great from a distance. You could program a universal one if it's that big of an issue. I have a Samsung HD Tuner (the newer one, HD, OTA, QAM, etc) hooked up to the HD set in the family room and the Zenith is a lot faster and much easier to use. The Zenith remembers the aspect ratio for each channel, the Samsung does not so we are constantly changing it after channel changing, very annoying and I swear I will eventually wear out that button on the remote. I also ordered a DISH DTV Pal because of the good reviews and has a better (several days longer) channel guide.
