Digital camera reviews of Tivax STB-T8 Digital to Analog TV Converter Box
Digital camera Review: Probably a better than average for a device type that is problematic
Summary: 3 Stars
The converter has a subtitle function that sometimes works. It has moments where the picture freezes or has "glitches" where the picture is scrambled. There are channels that are designated on the channel identification listing, but cannot seem to receive the channel. For some channels it shows three or four channels, but it is the same channel (i.e. 4 NBC's, etc....) The reception is greatly dependent upon the weather. The program guide, a large reason I purchased this unit over others, only lists the current show and the next show of the channel you are watching at the time you hit the "guide" feature. It does not show you what will be aired on other channels. It also seems to cut off the descriptor. You get the description on the first screen, but will usually not allow you to scroll down to see the rest of it.
As I mentioned in the title of this review, it appears the converter box technology is a "patch" to facilitate the new format of DTV. I am not certain if the majority of the problems come from the signal source or the converter. I had another box, I believe an "Access" unit purchased at Best Buy which did not work at all. Perhaps it will be best to purchase a new TV that is digital compliant.
Digital camera Review: Happy
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this with RCA ANT1650 Flat Digital Amplified Indoor TV Antennawhen we decided to get rid of cable. I am very happy with the unit overall, except the remote. It is hard to explain, but the remote just doesn't have a good layout or feel. If I remember correctly, others have commented on the remote, and it works, it just is awkward.
The unit does provide very good picture and sound.
Digital camera Review: Digital Converter Box
Summary: 5 Stars
I researched the internet to find the best digital converter box available and I think I found it. The Tivax STB-T8 works fantastic! Easy to set-up and use. I was so happy with its performance and features, I bought two more Tivax converter boxes for my other TV's. All three units work perfect. I would recommend this product to anyone. Also Amazon shipped the item quick with no problems. I am completely satisfied with my transaction!Digital camera Review: Upgrade your broadcast TV reception.
Summary: 5 Stars
Full functionality. Two boxes replaced two different manufacturers' units, both of which performed unacceptably. Able to pull in all local channels with minimum pixelation using rabbit ears and loop antennas on both TVs. A superior product.Digital camera Review: Old Antenna did not work.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very well made product, with easy installation and good instructions. My Analog antenna did not bring in any signals, so I could not complete rating this unit. I will build a "Coat Hanger" Yagi (go on web and Google) and then hope to get some good signals and rate it further.
