| The receiver of the Tivax is much better than the one found in my Sharp 27″ TV. I get too many drop outs and reports of signal unavailable with the Sharp, but the Tivax the receiver has been much more reliable. | |

| I’ve used this box on three TV sets and with three different indoor antennas. I receive 6 stations very well (almost HDTV quality) and another sometimes. I have not been able to receive satisfactory pictures from the two PBS stations. | |

| I bought this device because it was one of Consumer Reports’s top-rated products.
Set up was easy (just four or five connections!) — I plugged in the power cord, hooked the device to my TV using the AV and RF cables that were included, then connected the antenna cable to the converter box. There are few sockets on the device and thus little room for error. The converter automatically scans for channels and I was able to watch DTV within minutes. The impressive thing about the converter is that it was able to find a few more channels that the other TV in my house, a bona fide HDTV. Both this set and the other use the same roof antenna (I am in the NYC area — on the other set I could not get the three ABC or PBS channels, but with this converter I could)! Pros: Cons: |
