ChannelMaster CM7000 Review #0
Rating: 5 (excellent) Nickname: anonymous Date: 2008-12-28
Summary: Not perfect, but close..
The picture quality is excellent by far, not to mention the epg 12 hour guide. And with the S-cable is a plus. By far channel master has the best of all the boxes. With that said there are only two things I don't like, one the design of the remote could have been more thought out. And second they could have went above s-cable to an hdmi cable. For those who have flat screens. Overall a great buy and you really do get what you pay for, the price is worth it.


ChannelMaster CM7000 Review #1
Rating: 1 (very poor) Nickname: fred Date: 2011-11-17
Summary: unreliable and zero customer support
I have two of these and neither powers on anymore. They were great for two years but now are just junk. Neither had been used a lot. I opened the top and checked the power supply voltages, which was right on. Others have reported the same problem. Customer service is nil. Recommendation: Stay away from Channel Master. I have had mixed feelings about this unit, as digital to analog converters generally have only RF output. Having S-video and composite video makes much more sense, since the idea of digital TV is to have better picture quality. The units even appear to be pretty well made. There just seems to be a design flaw and Channel Master just ignores their customers.


ChannelMaster CM7000 Review #2
Rating: 5 (excellent) Nickname: Merl Q Date: 2009-09-08
Summary: Only one that works where I live.
This is the ideal converter box for areas with signal problems.I live 20 miles from the towers in an area with lots of tall trees.I am using a 2 bay UHF antenna indoors.The picture using S-video is superb,far superior to other ones I tried.Save yourself a lot of headaches by spending a few extra $$ for this quality product.I tried several converters from different manufactures but the CM-7000 was the only one that locked on all the channels without the picture cutting in and out.The remote is very sturdy and well made and it uses Pioneer brand coding for easy programing to universal remotes.

ChannelMaster CM7000 Review #4
Rating: 5 (excellent) Nickname: anonymous Date: 2009-04-05
Summary: Best Picture Quality I've Seen
Pros: This is the best Digital to Analog Converter Box I've seen. I could see why the Leading Consumer Testing Agency rated this the "best picture quality". It is the only one that has a S-Video cable adapter. It has a signal strength meter for every channel. The converter box materialis made of metal (not plastic) and can be stacked underneath lightweight objects as long as you don't cover any air holes it will not overheat. For the energy saving consumers this converter box also has a feature that automatically turns off the box for you for a selected amount of time. The box features also have parental controls and a easy to use channel updater. Cons: The coverter box does not a smart antenna port, and analog pass through. This box has extremely small closed captioning text size but can be replaced by the tv menu's closed captioning menu. The box does not come with A/V cables. Bottom Line: The box is $69.99 and is the only box with a S-Video Cable Port. With the best picture quality rated of 2008.
