Apex DT250

 

If you're looking to convert digital signals to analog for an older TV, the Apex DT250 offers plenty of flexibility.

More connectivity options than in rival models. Easy to set up. Includes smart antenna input. Less expensive than some competitors.

Menus are easy to navigate, but not easy on the eyes.

Apex DT250

Very good image quality; S-Video output; Smart Antenna port; analog pass-through.

Pulls in fewer stations than some other DTV boxes; mediocre remote; limited electronic program guide.

The Apex DT250 DTV converter box is packed with features and puts out a nice picture, but it doesn't pull in as many stations as competing boxes.

not worth the money

 

This box did work for six months before just quitting. The buttons on the remote were starting to fail and there were no buttons on the box to change the channels with if the remote were lost or broken.

Doesn't last

 

Ours has broken 6 months after purchase. It won't even turn on anymore and makes a horrible noise when you plug it in. When it was working, it was acceptable. The remote never worked very well even when it was brand new. Buy another brand.
