User Comments about the Winegard RC-1010 Digital To Analog Converter Box

But unfortunately I am finding the box to be nearly unusable due to the video freezing or pixelating every few seconds--despite 99-100% signal strength indicated on the unit's own meter. I connected a Dish Network TR-40CRA to the same antenna in the same location and its reception is nearly flawless, despite registering about 5% lower signal strength on its meter than the Winegard indicates. This was the only box I could identify with 1080i output (via component cables) that allowed the use of a government coupon, so I went for it. The Winegard's program guide is also very clunky, requiring 20-30 seconds to load data each time you change channels, and it cannot show data for a channel unless you actually tune to that channel. Also the Winegard cannot be programmed to facilitate timer recording--a huge disadvantage. Overall the feature set makes it appear to be a great value for the money (component and s-video outputs, digital optical audio out). Overall I would recommend this model only to those who just want to experiment with HDTV over the air and have some other means to actually watch programming (e.g., cable or another converter).
