Digitalstream 9950 converter box

Our recommendation is to set the box volume and then simply use the TV volume for your volume needs. The mode is halfway between Zoom and , the manual said, but didn't seem useful at all. Other than the feel, the redundant functions and layout put this remote at the bottom of the scale for the shootout. The Digital Stream tuner has a setup wizard, not just an initial setup. The setup includes choosing a language, viewing a setup page with instructional setup graphic, the channel scan, and time zone selection.

It took less than 2 minutes for the entire setup. The only thing that seemed to happen is the volume was lowered but the image quality didn't change. The manual did verify that this was the correct course of action even though the results made virtually no difference. The Channel menu allows for channel rescanning as well as manual channel editing and setting up favorite channels.

The Caption menu had many settings for changing the fonts, colors, sizes and transparencies. This is one of the most comprehensive setups for Closed Captioning in the shootout.

A Rating menu allowed for setting ratings and permission. The Function menu included mystery functions like Emergency Alerts and separate settings for Sleep Timer and Power Down Time which would seemingly be the same thing, but aren't.

There were some settings to control the transparency of all menus but it wasn't enough to make up for odd functions, bad menu layout, and poor menu response. The Enter button in the middle of the D-pad control displayed the Channel Info. The graphics used reminded me of the font used on the Commodore It was very blocky and large and included the channel number and call sign, the current time and date, the title of the program, the time range for the program, the rating, and several lit or dimmed icons representing HDTV, Stereo, Second Audio, CC, Dolby Digital decoding, and finally a colored signal meter.

No extended program information was available. The EPG button brought up the guide. The guide takes up the center of the screen and showed only what was on the current channel. It did show programs many hours in the future as well as allowing for viewing of detailed program info, but there was no way to change channels while in the guide.

It was more of an informative "What's on next" button, and not a full channel guide. Once plugged into the amplified antenna, I had huge signal improvements on most channels. The picture quality was fairly average, and nothing special.

It seemed to have just a little bit of artifacting on the CRT, but the image became worse when hooked up to the computer monitor.

The contrast seemed to be a bit off and there was a bit of black and white crush. The sound was over amplified until the Line Out setting was used. The sound went from very bad to just below average.

It didn't seem that any box should be significantly better or worse being that the TV speakers were used for testing, but Digital Stream proved me wrong. The vocals just weren't as clear. Not only was the menu system poorly laid out, but the remote had poor and redundant functions and the signal strength just wasn't as consistent as the other contenders. Honestly, the only situations where I could recommend this box was if the user needed lots of good Closed Caption features.

While visiting friends or family, you will finally have full control to change channels, turn the volume up or down, or just turn the TV off.
