This is an excellent converter box made by Dish Networks. Picture quality is among the best picture quality group in Consumer Reports. Operation is also very polished. It’s probably because the design is borrowed from Dish Networks’ satellite unit. However, a lot of users complain about software issue on the unit that renders the converter unusable unless you unplug and plug it back to reset the unit. That’s why a drop in rating.
