This average converter box is sold out at most retailer stores. Great alternatives include the Tivax STB-T8 and Dish Network DTVPal Plus.
If you are having reception problems with this box you will need to purchase a good digital TV antenna to go along with it.

Product Details: The picture quality of the Digital Stream DTX9950 digital TV converter box is not very good. When watching TV in SD there are obvious flaws such as blurring and stretching. When using this analog digital converter to watch TV in HD the picture quality is very good. The sound quality put out by this DTV converter box is very good. Again, nearly all TV converter boxes that we have looked at have nearly identical sound quality.
This digital TV converter box comes with an above average programming guide. This digital TV converter box is also one of only a few that come with analog pass-through. When using this dig converter box you can scan for all channels or individually tune them. This analog to digital converter box also comes with an on screen signal strength meter, and closed captioning adjust ability.
This converter box is a decent one since it was upgraded to include analog pass-through. It also sells for a reasonable price of $60. Despite this I would not recommend it because the best TV converter boxes can be purchased for a lower price.

3 Comments/Reviews:
I bought two of these units, and they are VERY nice in my opinion. The picture quality is great, easy to use, and the universal remote is a HUGE bonus. The only glitch I found is that the "universal remote" function won't work on my Emerson or Magnovox TV's??? (I tried to program them for hours, but no luck...) Fortunately my two main TV's are Panasonic, and everything works perfect with them. I'll be trying two different brand converters with my other TV's, but the universal remote option is a MUST for me.
VOLUME SUCKS
I've bought 5 of these and in less than a year, TWO of them have died. In both cases the power LED is dimly lit, but the unit simply won't power up.
When I called for a replacement under warranty, they made me go thru a half-hour process to convince them it really was dead. At which point they wanted to know if I had another TV on which to try [the whole process again]! It was unbelievable!
I strongly recommend you do not buy any digital stream product.
