To be fair, most of the converter boxes look like they were beat with an ugly stick, but this one has to take the cake. At least the other really ugly ones tend to be black. And this box has an S-Video output, which is nice. A lot of the manufacturers took the cheap way and did composite only.
I would love to see S-Video out, analog pass-through for low-powered stations (they are not required to go digital), and a smart antenna port. Has anyone seen one of those that's actually for sale (and not just "announced)?
None of the boxes available come close to have all three! See http://www.ezdigitaltv.com/Converter_Box_Retailers.html Only a few boxes comes with two, the Philco TB150HH9, Apex Digital DT1001, MaxMedia MMDTVB03, and Philco TB150HH9
You can have it FAST, you can have it GOOD, or you can have it CHEAP, but you can only Pick Two

Man, that's hideous.
