Lately we have been dealing with an increasing number of attempts to manipulate product rankings. Note: each person is allowed to post one and only one review for each product. Exceptions can be made only under special circumstances when the reviewer feels that his earlier review must be corrected.
We have a sophisticated manipulation detection system in place and we will not tolerate any attempt to game the system and mislead consumers and our visitors. We reserve the right to delete any review that we feel is misleading or inappropriate and do that at our sole discretion. Thanks for understanding.
Also, from now on we require all reviews to be at least 100 words long. Short reviews, such as "a piece of junk" or "works as advertised" are not very helpful. Consider specifying more details. Elaborate on your location, the equipment you are using, reception quality of specific channels in your area. Check the word counter at the bottom when writing.

| Summary: unreliable and zero customer support |
| I have two of these and neither powers on anymore. They were great for two years but now are just junk. Neither had been used a lot. I opened the top and checked the power supply voltages, which was right on. Others have reported the same problem. Customer service is nil. Recommendation: Stay away from Channel Master. I have had mixed feelings about this unit, as digital to analog converters generally have only RF output. Having S-video and composite video makes much more sense, since the idea of digital TV is to have better picture quality. The units even appear to be pretty well made. There just seems to be a design flaw and Channel Master just ignores their customers. |

| Summary: Freakin\ Amazing |
| I had to replace the cheap Access converter I had that crapped out. This time I did my research and quality was the deciding factor for me. Shortly after I plugged this in and attached my amplified antenna (Winegard SS 3000 Indoor UHF/VHF Antenna)I went from having 12 fuzzy stations to 49 stations with darn near HD quality. My old television has new life. With my new converter box and hulu I\ll never pay for cable again, this is my best purchase of 2010 by far. This box is freakin\ amazing so if you live in a large city with lots of buildings that make it impossible to get a clear path to your nearest transmitter this is a must buy. |

| Summary: The Best |
| Weve been using the Channel Master CM-7000 for about 10 months and couldnt be happier. We live about 65 miles from Chicago, 85 miles from Champaign, and about 80 miles from South Bend. We get stations from all of these towns and more. Counting sub-stations we have scanned in 95 channels. Some of the weaker distant stations we can view only at night but we still have almost as many channels to choose from as we did using satellite (I dont count infomercial only channels). It also has a great picture and superb sound. Well worth the little extra $$. |

| Summary: The best converter box I\ve tried. |
| I live in the worst spot for tv reception. I\m behind a hill with trees. The other converter boxes I\ve tried are the Zenith DTT900 and the Insigna ns-dxa1. Both had picture cut out when the wind picked up and reception varied with the weather changes.The Channel Master cm 7000 not only gets more channels it also keeps a picture during windy days. I got a Antennas Direct Clearstreem 4 antenna,Winegard preamp,RG11 coax and the Channel Master cm 7000. I get all the Portland OR. channels but one, and that\s because the Antennas Direct Clearstreem 4 can only pick up uhf and the very highest vhf channels. With a good vhf antenna I\m sure I can get all channels. The biggest improvement I had was when I hooked up the Channel Master converter box. |

| Summary: Converter better than top shelf 32 Toshiba Cinema Series TV tuner |
| Nicely featured digital to analog converter with very sensitive scanner (missed nothing) which can be updated periodically without erasing the previous scan, handy signal strength meter which enables hacking antenna to improve weakest channels signal collection and theres a decent channel guide for the next 12 hours when the station has made it available. The S-Video output easily rivals the quality of the best premium channels (HBO, Cinemax, Showtime and Starz) from Direct TV Satellite. Free HDTV is the BOMB. Sound is way superior to analog or Direct TV. Over 35 channels scanned, its CD quality all the way. I get 17 channels in HD: mostly 1080i and a few in 720P. Half are in 5.1 channel Dolby, not just stereo which is also excellent. The TV just passed its 20th birthday and although I could buy a 50 plasma, it would be wrong to toss out the picture and sound quality on the 32 cathode ray TV now....its the best it has ever been in its 20 years. The Channel Masters picture and sound quality, along with the digital conversion has upgraded this older, fine TV from a 7 to a 9 out of 10. Now I have to wait until the TV fries itself before I justify replacing it! Great converter! |
