The CM7000 is the best one because you can update each time you move the antenna and it will not overwrite RF channels with Virtual numbers. The only downside is that you can only tune-in a channel that has been scanned and you must use the virtual channel. I have had good luck with Zenith and Digitalstream boxes also, but there is no S-video output.

That CM 4251 is the best UHF antenna ever made, I have one on my shop. The CDE rotor is also the best, though I never had one. The rotor motor unit looks like a bell.

I use the Alliance U100's and U110's I have salvaged. Motors are easy to rebuild and the control boxes last forever.

Avoid the rotors by channel master, ECG, etc and other clones that are still made. They totally suck, the motors cannot handle heavy loads and control units fail and willrequire frequent syncing
