Channel Master CM-7000

The Channel Master CM-7000 is another digital TV converter box made by one of the finest vendors of over-the-air antenna and related products: Channel Master. It is one of the best digital TV set top boxes available, and just just what you need if you do not currently subscribe to a digital TV service.

As you’d expect, the CM-7000 accepts free, over-the-air digital signals and converts them to 480i, with an adjustable 4:3 (standard) or 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio.The CM-7000 has RCA (composite) connections as well as standard coax connections and S video. Unforuntely, there is no Smart Antenna. The Electronic Programming Guide (EPG) displays only one channel at a time, but displays 24 hours of programming.

Some user-based reports indicate the CM-7000 has:

Great reception; noticeably better than the Sansonic FT-300RT.
Solid connection reliability.
Missing the external power supply found on the Sansonic FT-300A.
A full function remote control.
No analog pass through like is found on the Philco TB100-HH9.
Easy installation and operation.
Audio not quite as crisp as the Winegard RC-DT09.

The Channel Master CM-7000 currently retails for $79.99, but for a limited time is on sale with our chosen partner for only $68.95.
