I have Digitalstream (bought in '08), Magnavox, and Channel Master boxes and they all still work fine. I've had a few Apex boxes and those are crap.
I think my one Apex box needs 'lytics. Hopefully, that's all it needs. A neighbor gave me a Zenith that doesn't work at all. I think it's lightning damaged. I see nothing obvious, such as bulging 'lytics.
Being that collector I am, I pick up just about, every converter I run across, that priced low, that is, under $5.00. Apex to Zinwell.
