Since it seems that the EchoStar will never be available, which is
the beter converter: Magnavox or Philco?

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_CECB_units>
is a table of the various boxen, with real manufacturer and what
chip-sets they use. Which says that both the Magnavox and Philco
units are made by Funai. Probably the same thing.

I have the Digital Stream DTX9900 and it's pretty good with weak
snowy signals. Not good with ghosts. I gather that most of them
have that problem.
