Customer Review: Great D2A Converter Box
Summary: 5 Stars
I live in the Washington DC burbs and I'm one of the few, the proud, who still doesn't have some form of cable TV. The February deadline is approaching quickly, so I applied for my Gov't coupon, received it, and purchased this converter box to convert the digital signals to analog for my 32" Toshiba CRT TV. Having the converter box is nearly like getting cable--there are subchannels for the main networks. For example, WJLA, channel 7 in our area, has a 7.3 channel which a retro tv channel that airs re-runs of popular 80s TV shows M-F, like the A-Team and Magnum PI.
Pros:
* Metal housing is durable--no plastic parts except for remote control and front panel.
* Easy setup - Antenna to box, A/V cables from box to TV and you're set.
* Signal strength indicator - shows you how strong of a reception you're getting.
* TV guide button tells you what's on now and what's on next.
* Aspect changer - button lets control the aspect ratio of the video signal coming through the TV
* Dolby Digital certified sound. Not many other DTV boxes on the market can claim that.
* Analog passthrough! Yes, with the device in standby you can still get analog signals to your TV. Not all converter boxes have this feature.
* RS232 service port -- calling any computer geeks, here's your DB9 for s/w updates.
* One of the top three converter boxes rated by Consumer Reports.
Cons:
* Sound quality through TV OK. I have the volume at near max in order to hear the audio. I need to get some 6' audio cables to see if it sounds better out of my Yamaha receiver.
* This is digital TV. All stations come in clear, but if there's a weak signal, you'll get blotchy images and inconsistent sound.
* User manual could use a better translation, but it does the job.
* "Smart Antenna" not explained well. This box allows you to hook up either a regular old antenna or a "smart antenna," which adjusts the rotation and gain to get the best reception for a particular station. [...] carries one for $[...], but the one on my roof seems to work well.
I highly recommend making the DTV transition now before the rush, especially with this box. It takes 4-6 weeks for the Gov't to process your application and send you a credit card for $[...].
