I have a dish 722, but thought I would put a converter box on an old tv thats not plugged in.

I was looking at the Tivax STB-T8 or the Dtvpal plus.

Any suggestions? I would also consider a different unit.

TIA
 
I've got the regular DTVpal. Works great! I actually think its got a better tuner than my 622 & 722. Unless you're a long way from your locals transmitters I don't think you'll need to spend the extra $$$ for the "plus". JMHO

BTW, I got mine from solidsignal.com. The 1st one I purchased was the DTVpal, the 2nd was the TR40 which is identical unit--just doesn't have the Dish logo. Cost me .01 plus the shipping after the government coupon. The do take the coupons as well. Hope this helps.
 
You might want to ask this in the OTA forum.
