Converter Box question...

I usualy post on Planars or Vinyl, I figured you guys would know.
Just got my 2 cards for the converter box deal, on the sheet that came with it are about 20 brands and/or models listed that will do the job, but I wonder are any of these outstanding, better than the rest, and are there some I should avoid at all cost.
Thanks for any info.

I looked at Circuit City, Best Buy and Radio Shack. I bought the
DigitalStream from Radio Shack because I'd read a review that mentioned
several faetures that really give this box a big advantage: Control
over 4/3, 14/9, 16/9 resolution to the display! Also, it has buttons
to show you antenna signal strength, captions and program guide.

I'm using the Dig Stream with a simple $4.19 UHF Bowtie Antenna. I get
over 20 stations in the Boston area with signal strength all > 75% (!!!)

I recommend using the composite video connection too!

I've only used one which is the Digital Stream that Radio Shack sells. Easy to setup and pulls in all my locals (Louisville) with an indoor antenna.
