The Access HD DTA-1010D TV converter box is an excellent one. If it comes with analog pass-through it would have been rated an A+ but since it is missing such an essential feature we were forced to lower it by a whole letter grade. For those that don't need pass-through this is a great TV converter.

This TV converter box comes with multi-language settings that include french, English, and Spanish. It also comes with a signal strength meter for individual channel tuning and the ability to search for all channels at once. The program guide for the DTA-1010D TV converter box is also very good. It is better than most other TV converter boxes and provides users with ample information for current and upcoming shows.

This TV converter comes with excellent sound. The sound clarity this TV converter box is reminiscent of watching a DVD and a major improvement over analog sound.

The picture clarity of the Access HD DTA-1010D TV converter box is also quite good. When watching with the TV converter box you will get one of the best pictures that is possible with a TV converter box.

If this TV converter box only had analog pass-through our review and comparison would have rated it as one of the 3 best TV converter boxes. Even with it missing that feature it is still an awesome one of the TV converter boxes that will significantly enhance your viewing experience. All features combined with its cheap price of $55 make this TV converter box great buy.

COShip N9988T TV Converter Box

Final Rating: B+

The COShip N9988T TV converter box is a very unique TV converter box in that it comes with some features that we have not seen with almost any other digital converter boxes. It grades out fairly highly because of this but since it is lacking analog pass-through we couldn't give it a grade any higher than a B+.

This means that the aspect ratio will automatically be adjusted based off your TV type. The N9988T TV converter box also comes with a show guide that is better than the average TV converter box. Our review and rating also revealed that it comes with a signal strength meter for channel tuning and changeable closed captioning text.

This analog digital converter box comes with pretty darn good picture clarity. It is a slight step below the quality of the Tivax, DTVPal, and Channel Master TV converter but still very good. The only issues with its picture quality are when watching HDTV there is a bit of blurring and stretching of images. In order to help improve clarity and get extra channels with this converter box you may want to try a digital HDTV antenna.

This TV converter box's clearness of sound is quite excellent. When listening to sound through it you get an extremely crisp and clear sound that is equal to the quality of DVD sound.

As a whole the COShip N9988T is an excellent TV converter box. Its auto aspect ratio feature is a very nice feature that you don't seem very often with other TV converter boxes.
