Unit was clean, complete, un-programmed and responded quickly upon powering.

Installation of this is so easy that there is no doubt as to the great thought that went into this. Connect your coax paying attention to what plugs in and where. "In" is where the antenna connects. "Out" goes to the TV set. Connect first, then plug in. Next turn on the TV (on channel 3) and just follow the instructions.You should read the instructions. You will see that everything possible has already been done for you.This is far superior (price was $47,70) and was created by people who knew what they were doing. It is just "superior" and unfortunately it may be that I got the last one...

I bought this so that I could use my old Tivo Series 2, which is only compatible with a small number of converter boxes. Fortunately, this one wasn't too expensive and works better than my old RCA converter box that I used to use. In fact, I bought a second one, just in case this one eventually dies out, although it's working just fine. If you have an old Tivo and you want to record from over-the-air, this is a must!

It's a standard definition converter box, and it works well. I understand there are better boxes out there, but this does a decent job and is going strong after two years of use. To compare, I have a portable TV that picks up almost nothing at all, even when connected to the same rabbit ears. This one gets about 75% of the channels in the area (the others would probably come in if I'd put up an outdoor antenna). As most new HDTVs have the tuner built in, the only reason you'd probably want a converter box is to watch over the air signals on an older TV set, which probably isn't HD compatible -- so this is a good solution. Remember that converters should be as far as possible from the rabbit ears. A lot of people don't realize this point because the older TVs with rabbit ears were usually right next to each other. Other devices such as lamps or electric blankets, if they're placed in the same area could also interfere with the signal, causing it to fade out. Now, specifically about the box, there is a feature that is programmed in to automatically shut down the converter after so many hours. You can change this, or turn the feature off (I have mine set for four hours...I figure that if I've left the TV on for that long, I'm probably not watching it anyway). This box also allows for secondary audio programming and has a limited EPG display. The EPG display often isn't large enough to see the entire program description, and is only displayed for individual channels (so no TV-guide type feature). However, as another person suggested, I usually go to a website such as Titan TV to see what's on. Over all, I am pleased and believe the unit was a good value. If you, like me, can't afford a brand new TV and don't want to spend money on satellite or cable TV, it's a great investment to breathe life into that old set (and with digital TV, the picture, even in standard definition, looks just as good, if not better, than satellite or cable).

First off, read the instructions. I have many things hooked to the TV, ie game system, VCR, etc. so each wire can cause crosstalk interference if not properly separated from each other. Unit works great bring in reception much better then I expected from stations as far away as 60+ miles. Unit has many extra features I didn't think ws going to be possible but sure enough it is much like using cable TV. Getting to understand home HD works is a bit new but if you read the instructions you'll catch on quickly. I suggest you use a TV listing such as available such as zap2it to get a listing of the broadcast stations in your area. This helps give you a tv guide to see what channels are available to you and what shows are on. For the price you can't beat this unit. Sure beats the cost of cable.

This product functions very well. I read the reviews before purchasing any box like this. My cable bill jumped to over $95 a month, and Comcast no longer offers expanded basic in my area, so my only other option was to pay $25 a month for 10 channels on basic basic. This is unacceptable. I live in an apartment with alot of trees blocking my balcony, so the DISh or others like it is not an option. I am very pleased with the price I paid and with the reception and ease of set up. If you follow the directions, which I found fairly simple, it works great. I paid around $27 for this and receive 25 channels, so I think it was worth the money. I would recommend this product.

This Magnavox digital to analog converter box is pretty good for the money. It was certainly one of the less expensive models out there, and for the money it has a decent amount of features. It was a little difficult to set up, as the instructions from the manufacturer weren't exactly clear. My biggest complaint is that there are no buttons on the unit itself. Everything must be done using the remote control and the remote is unable to be programmed to control the TV's volume (so you have to have 2 remotes). However, the box went on a spare TV that doesn't get used that often. All in all, it does the job and is priced low.
