Tivax Stb-T8 Features
The tivax converter box comes jam-packed with some excellent features.
One of the best things about the stb-t8 digital converter is that it doesn't have some of the overheating problems associated with other boxes.
It also pulls in more channels off the air when connected to an analog tv than even a direct connection from a digital antenna to a digital tv. It can receive free high definition TV too.
Many users love the the fact that it's possible to adjust the closed captions, picture ratio, from the remote control on the tivax stb-t8 digital converter.
The signal quality is also displayed on screen making it easier for you to carry out the necessary antenna adjustments for the best possible reception. Quite a few people say they've gotten excellent pictures even with poor signal strength.
The tivax converter box also does an excellent job at getting rid of dark bands at the edge of the screen image, since it allows you to adjust the aspect ratio, enabling you to view pictures in any aspect you want.
If you've been considering getting the older tivax stb-t9, make sure that you won't need the analog pass-through feature in the future--you can check out the detailed tivax stb t8 vs tivax stb-t9 page for more information.
