RCA DTA800B TV Converter Box

RCA DTA800B TV Converter Box

Final Rating: C
The RCA DTA800B TV converter box is one of the worst TV converter boxes that we have looked at so far. If it didn't provide stellar picture quality it could have probably scored a D-. The DTA800B does not come with the aspect ratio settings that are required by the government and it also does not come with analog pass through. The RCA DTA800B is lacking necessary features and still sells for $65, which is quite a bit more than other TV converters that come with more features.

The RCA analog digital converter box does come with a programming guide and a scan-for-all tuning function. It also comes with a universal remote and adjustable closed caption fonts.

This TV converter boxes picture is rated very high. The RCA's picture is the only positive about it. The picture for the RCA in digital broadcasting is slightly below DVD quality. It is a significant upgrade from analog TV. In order to increase the performance of your converter box we recommend that you get one of the RCA digigtal antennas.

The sound put out by the RCA DTA800B is rated to be just as good as most other TV converter boxes on the market.

GE 22730 TV Converter Box

GE 22730 TV Converter Box

Final Rating: C-

The General Electric (GE) 22730 is rated very low on our scale just like its counterpart, the GE 22729. The GE 22730 is very similar to all of the other digital converter boxes we have reviewed but for some reason its final costs is significantly higher at $70. We do not recommend purchasing the GE 22730.

It also comes with the scan-for-all function or individual channel tuning and adjustable closed captioning. This TV converter box does not come with analog pass through.

The GE 22730's picture is a step below that of most of the TV converter boxes that we have reviewed. Because of this reason we have rated is pretty low. The picture however is still better than what you would get from an analog TV broadcast.

GE 22729 TV Converter Box

GE 22729 TV Converter Box

Final Rating: C+

The General Electric (GE) 22729 is rated fairly low on our grading scale when compared to other digital TV converter box we have rated. It has nearly all of the same features as every other digital converter box we have reviewed and produces a lower quality picture but for some reason costs $20 more!!! We would not recommend this TV converter box to anybody.

The GE 22729 comes with one of the better programming guides in comparison to the other converters we reviewed. It also comes with individual channel tuning or the "scan-for-all" function. This TV converter box also comes with adjustable closed captioning and smart antenna technology.

The GE 22729's picture was not bad by any means but it was also not up to par with other TV converter Boxes on the market. The picture while watching in HD was obvious.

The GE 22729's sound was just about the same as all of the other DTV converter boxes available and was better than what you get with analog TV.
