I can tell you that Apex boxes are pure junk. I had two of them that died in short order after I got them, ran very hot, and were not very sensitive when they did work. Fortunately, I didn't have any money in them.

I've got two digitalstream boxes that are around 4.5 years old and I have no complaints with either one.

I've also got a channel master box that is good; but, the front panel buttons "make contact" too long. As in, it may jump 2 or 3 channels when the button in pressed. It does not do that with the remote.

The Magnavox/Philco branded Funai boxes seem to be reliable; but, are not quite as sensitive as the CM or DS boxes.

The Zenith/Insignia boxes are also good.
