Limited Choice of EIA/CEA-909A Smart Antennas in The Marketplace
Prior to the final transition to ATSC Digital television in the United States on June 11, 2009, two smart antenna models were brought to market:
- RCA ANT2000 -- no longer available from retailers
- DTA-5000 -- manufactured by Funai Electric, marketed under the "DX Antenna" brand name, sometimes associated with the Sylvania brand name; no longer available from retailers
And two models are causing consumer confusion:
- Although the Apex SM550 is capable of connecting to a CEA-909 port for the purpose of drawing electrical power, it is not a true smart antenna.
- The unfortunately-named Channel Master 3000A SMARTenna is a conventional antenna, not a smart antenna.

“Every day care center, whether it knows it or not, is a school. The choice is never between custodial care and education. The choice is between unplanned and planned education, between conscious and unconscious education, between bad education and good education.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“I never met anyone who didn’t have a very smart child. What happens to these children, you wonder, when they reach adulthood?”
