5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Piece of Equipment, October 12, 2008
By JC (Racine, WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lasonic LTA-260 ATSC Digital to Analog TV Converter Box (Electronics)
I purchased the Lasonic LTA-260 from Amazon because it's highly rated by Consumer Reports. The unit is extremely easy to hook up. The instructions are clear and the unit is easy to use. The features are very basic, but the unit produces a very nice picture. I live between Chicago and Milwaukee. I used the channel scan function and the unit detected 44 channels - using only rabbit ears! The signal strength and picture from 75% of the stations are very good. I got excellent results at a reasonable price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Picture for a Small Price..., November 10, 2008
By Michelle Mcneely (Sanford, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Lasonic LTA-260 ATSC Digital to Analog TV Converter Box (Electronics)
I wanted to try out a box with my government rebate that I could use with my cheap old antennae and decent TV. So when I got this from Amazon for very little after the [...], I was very excited.

The first impression I had, was that the unit is so small! I pictured a VCR size box but it was about a 1/3 of the size. So it will not clog up your space. On the down size the remote is also very small, almost palm size and this would be easily lost in my home. The buttons on the remote were also hard to push and very cheaply made.

Set up was easy although the manual must have been translated to English but can be understood. The programming was simple and the channel scan found about 50% more stations than I received with the antennae alone.
The picture is VERY clear and as good as when I had digital cable. The on screen channel information is an added bonus.

Overall I would say I did get my money's worth and would buy this again for each of my TV's. My only suggestion is to program the unit to your universal remote which can be done with the help of the last page in the included manual.

1.0 out of 5 stars I don't care for it at all, January 31, 2009
By Cyrus Vincent (Orlando, FL) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lasonic LTA-260 ATSC Digital to Analog TV Converter Box (Electronics)
The price on the Lasonic Digital Convertor was attractive, so I purchased it and set it up at home. True, I do get more channels with better quality than analog, but the device is not user friendly. To start, some of the important controls are not actually on the remote (Like Recall channel) which is about the size of a chili pepper. Not fun. The controls are also in funny places. The box responds slowly to input and requires a lot of time between remote signals. So, if you want channel 2, first you enter 0 (and wait), 2 (and wait), 1 (and wait for sub-channel 1), and then OK (and it will change eventually). There are also plenty of features that might otherwise have been included. For example, the condensed menu could list all of the current programming that is airing, since Digital TV does tell you the name of the show and other information. In short, I don't care for the device. Take my advice and pay the extra $20.00 for a good Digital Converter.
