Time to change channels was about the same as my Sony. The unit was also pretty quick when changing channels. It was basically indistinguishable from my Sony TV’s picture quality! HD channels looked crisp and colorful. I was surprised that such a cheap unit could have such good picture quality. So, the tuner quality was more than sufficient for me. It found all of the major networks and major local channels in my area (Los Angeles). So, the tuner is not quite as good as my Sony, but the vast majority of the channels it didn’t find were ones I wouldn’t watch anyway, i.e., foreign language, etc. For comparison, my excellent Sony HDTV found 154 channels. I kicked off the channel search by pressing the big OK button on the remote and it only took the unit a few minutes to do a complete channel scan: Found channels on the HOMEWORX converter boxĪfter that, I could start watching live broadcast TV. Rear PanelĪfter turning on my TV and selecting the appropriate HDMI input, I got the setup screen prompting me to do a channel search: Mediasonic HOMEWORX converter box setup screen Note that if you’re using it with an old tube TV, you’d use the included analog cables instead. I plugged in an antenna, plugged in power, then plugged it into my flat-screen Sony TV using an HDMI cable. I found the setup for the Mediasonic HOMEWORX box to be very easy. At just $30, the Mediasonic HOMEWORX HW130STB is one of the lower-cost units out there, but it has pretty much the same features as more expensive boxes. There are many converter boxes on the market today with almost the same feature set. My Recommended Converter Box: The Mediasonic HOMEWORX HW130STB
