Bought a Tivax STB-T8 Digital to Analog TV Converter Box but have not yet hooked it up. I assime it is a good product.
Rating: 3 / 5
I have never bought electronics with so little info avaiable. I am unhappy with our goverment’s part (my discount card expired before I realized it), magazines and Internet reviews were skimpy.
I bought it a week before the original need date but even after the date was extended I still didn’t know whether the TV stations would go digital at the time.
I guess the box works. What can I compare it to.

these converter box are a joke maybe some people get the station we hooked this one up and get only one station and that is a Spanish right now we get most of the station with out the converter box i hope this will continue because we cannot afford dish or cable and the box will not work in our area

I bought the Tivax STB-T8 because I had the $40 coupon. Look at the dish dtvpal. That’s a nice one. I really like that one better.

why pay amazon 80 when you can buy it for 1/2 somewhere else?
amazon… why don’t you understand that no one will buy this item unless you lower your profits, i mean price!
from research i personally decided this converter and the zenith dtt901 were the best available (~10/1/8). tonight, i plugged both into the best of 2 antennas (an amplified antenna from radio shack) to my 43″ hd widescreen tv.
advantages of this tivax: better quality picture, could view ~6 hours in advance of up-coming shows.
disadvantages of this tivax: bars above/below picture on hd channels unless zoomed in, could not list info from other channels without changing to that channel and then pressing info.
advantages of zenith dtt901: good picture, could view info from other channels while on another channel.
disadvantages: could not view up-coming shows, bars on sides of picture on non-hd channels.
