DTV 2009: Channel Master CM-7000 DTV Converter Box NTIA Coupon-Eligible
Channel Master's CM-7000 DTV converter box has been approved by the National Telecommunications and Infrastructure Administration as a coupon-eligible analog-to-digital converter box. The Channel Master CM-7000 allows users to view both high-definition (so Channel Master says, but the CM-7000 only outputs 480i) and digital television on their analog televisions and offers easy setup and a friendly user interface. Features include an onscreen programming guide, parental controls, a fully functional remote control, closed captioning and a standby mode for energy savings. Those who have tried the CM-7000 seem to think it works fairly well, although no one is particularly happy with Channel Master marketing the converter as HDTV-compatible when it's not. After coupon use, expect to pay anywhere from $20-$40 for the Channel Master box.
