The overall operation and functioning of the Lasonic LTA-260 has received mixed reviews. There have been reports of broken controllers and bad reception. The broken controllers are most likely caused by a faulty controller and a quick exchange with the manufacturer should resolve the issue. Bad reception is likely caused from having a bad antenna. In order to get good reception and all channels with any converter box a good digital antenna is required.
Product Details: The picture quality for the LTA-260 has been reported to be excellent and provides a picture that is a step below DVD quality. The picture quality this box gives out is similar to that of the top boxes on the market. The sound quality that you get with this digital converter box is also very clear and has been reported to be as good as most other boxes on the market. Both the picture and sound quality for this box is significantly better than what you would except to get with analog broadcasts. Currently this converter box is only available at several retailers and can be purchased for $45-$50. At this point we recommend that you purchase a different TV converter but at the same time this one will get the job done.
The Lasonic LTA-260 has a program guide that shows a description of upcoming shows over the next few hours. It's program guide isn't the most robust cut gets the job done. With this converter box users can use the scan for all channels function or manually set each channel. It also comes with an on screen signal meter to assist with manual tuning. A digital antenna is a must with this and other boxes in order to get all channels. This box does not come with analog pass-through.
This converter box is a mid rated box because it has good picture and sound quality but some remote control problems have been reported and it doesn't have analog pass-through. If you want a box top rated box we recommend that you check out the Tivax STB-T8 or Dish Network DTVPal Plus.
