This product captures the ATSC digital broadcast and transfers it to your analog (or digital) TV, PC screen, or projector. Yes, it’s as easy as it sounds. Now you can watch your fav TV shows, news, or sports events on your device of choice without buying a specific one to cover your needs. Protect your wallet by making the most of what you already have at home.

ZJBOX is very easy to set up and connect. It comes with everything you need and plugs into your TV by a HDMI, Composite, or Coaxial port. One thing you need to remember is to remove the protective film that covers the vents. Otherwise, the box may overheat and have a shorter lifespan as a result.

This converter box supports the 1080p Full HD output for you to watch free local TV as it was meant to be viewed. Sit back and enjoy high quality, bright, and crisp picture without the need for a more expensive TV set. Actually, with some channels, there is practically no difference between the dish and antenna quality.

The Mediasonic Homeworx HW130STB is up there with the most versatile and full-featured digital converters. At the same time, the device looks much more sleek and elegant than these boxes usually look.

Measuring 5 x 1.5 x 4 inches, this box is as compact as they come. At the same time, the device weighs less than five ounces, which is pretty nice even though its weight matters very little.

The glossy front panel makes this product look stylish, while the all-black housing makes the box appear almost imposing, certainly adding character to the otherwise modest, unassuming device.

Of course, you don't buy these devices for looks alone, aesthetics are complementary but not necessary here. This device is fine with that. The people behind this product haven't been banking on looks at all. On the contrary, it is the device's functionality that sells this box.

First things first, this model features an electronic programming guide, which is something that these boxes rarely come without. The guide's menu-based system provides continuously updated menus, displaying scheduling information regarding current and upcoming broadcasts. You can even scroll backwards here.

Timing startup and shutdown are basically obligatory features these days too, so we won't be focusing too much on them. Needless to say, you can use these settings to program the TV to turn on and off whenever you want.

No need to replace your old but favorite analog TV set to watch local digital channels. IVIEW converts ATSC (digital air channels) to the analog signal that your set can consume. It also captures many more channels than other converter boxes.

Why buy a new digital TV set when you can simply make the best of what you already have at home? Get yourself an IVIEW, and you’ll be able to enjoy your favorite TV series or sports in Full HD (1080p). Never miss a single detail of an amazing show scene or a spectacular goal. This converter box gives you a full scale digital TV experience without having to buy an expensive home theater.

To start using this converter box, simply connect the HDMI cable to your TV set. That’s it; no complex setup or calling in a specialist. Plug in the cable, and you’re ready to enjoy the super crisp TV signal quality.

IVIEW can be your bridge between the costly cable service and free local channels. If your antenna is powerful enough, you should be able to pick all or most channels in your area. A great alternative if you’re getting tired of overpaying for the cable TV content and want to save up big time.

The first thing you'll notice when connecting the Viewtv AT-163 digital converter is that there is an HDMI cable besides a composite one. It's rare to see this connectivity option among the competitors. Thus, with an appropriate socket on your TV, you can efficiently transfer high-quality images from the tuner to a TV panel.

It's a good addition considering the money it costs. Interestingly, besides perfect configuration, the manufacturer tried to provide this model with different additional peculiarities including a capacity to record any live broadcast on the external devices, an information guide, a content multimedia playback function via USB, parental control, closed-caption display function, autotuning, and the creation of your favorite channels list.

There are many reasons why this digital converter box is better than most prospects on the market right now. Among those reasons are the formats that the device supports. Sure, there's nothing impressive about this box being able to run Divx, AVI, MKV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264/AVC, VOB, and MOV.

The FLV format that the device supports too is not as prevalent though, which's unfortunate for the devices that are missing this format and great for this particular because you're able to listen to lossless music. You'll also be able to play VC-1 videos, which is not necessarily the best format out there but there aren't too many digital converter boxes that support this format, so the ability alone is always a plus.

Now is the time to transfer over-the-air digital TV signal to your good old analog TV, projector, or PC monitor. The UBISHENG converter box receives the local digital TV – and lets you enjoy it free, without overpaying for the cable.

Let’s start with the fact that UBISHENG supports a broad range of TV models, such as LED TV, Smart TV, HD TV, and others. If you prefer to receive the signal to your PC and use the monitor, absolutely no problem. This converter box is really versatile in this aspect.

What about the picture quality? UBISHENG provides you with a high definition, full color, crispy picture that will actually surprise you. Now you don’t have to upgrade to a new TV model to enjoy the local TV channels the way they are meant to be viewed. Impress your family with a brand new viewing experience and take in each and every detail of any TV show or sports event.

The only visible downside to this box is that the instructions could be more detailed and cover more aspects of this product. Inexperienced users will probably spend some time mastering this device and finding their way around the menus.
