Converter Box Reviews:

We will not post reviews of converter boxes by non-professionals because it is too subjective. You can find that type of information on Internet forums discussing the topic.

Consumer Reports.com has reviews of several converter boxes.

CNET has reviews of these boxes, links found on these pages:

Insignia NS DXA1
RCA DTA800B
Zenith DTT900
GE 22730
DISH Network DTV Pal

Up to $100 off original price TiVo HD DVRs


Additional information about CECBs:

  • Older TV sets without coax cable connections (screw-terminals or twin-lead): If you have an older television with a "twin lead" antenna cable, you will need additional components not supplied with the converter box. Converter Box Adapter Information

  • VCR Timers: The Dish Network TR-40CRA, DISH Network DTVPal and the Zinwell ZAT-970A have a (VCR) Event Timer. These are the only coupon-eligible converter boxes that we know of with this feature.

  • Using a VCR with a Converter Box

  • RV Owners: A converter box with an analog pass-through is a great choice while traveling. It will allow you to receive TV signals from various TV stations whether they are transmitting in analog or digital.

  • RVs and Digital TV

  • Splitters: A digital to analog converter box CAN be connected to several TVs at the same time using a splitter, BUT all of the TVs will view the same channel; the one that the converter box is set to. The converter box can only be tuned to one channel at a time. For practical purposes, each TV set will need its own converter box.
