| I purchased two boxes using my government coupons. They worked ok for the first couple months. There were times when the box would shut down for no apperant reason only to magically come back on by it's self. After that it would scroll through all the channels you have programed in and land on which ever one you didn't want. Now the power comes on just fine, but no picture. No anything for that matter. DO NOT buy this box, and if you ask me the whole DTV thing is a big scam. Save your money and get cable or satillite. |

| bought this box on 7/1/2008. Could'nt have known then that on 2/17/2009 that I still would not be able to catch all station. They came out with an upgrade DTA800B1 a little while after and it does pick up all available signals. Seems like they knew this box would not get the job done. The station in question is only 5.9 mi. from me with 2 other antennas in the same vicinity. RCA also will not back this item with a recall when i believe they know it does'nt work right. |

This thing hasn't worked right since I bought it. Once you turn it off, it won't turn back on unless you un-plug & re-plug it back in. Ya, I bought it a while before the conversion date & tossed the box & reciept.
...and after you don't really get any stations you can go buy a USELESS digital antenna that dosen't even get 1 more station then my old rabbit ears... |
| If you want to be ready for digital broadcast, buy another box | 2009-01-25 | 1 / 5 |

| This converter box is LOUSY. Reception goes in and out --and when it's out, it's completely gone -- some days I can tune the PBS station in our area, some days not. Some days I get Fox, some days not. The one new TV in our house with a built-in digital receiver receives these stations all the time with the same antenna, so the problem has to be the box: Three TVs in our house use these boxes, and they're all lousy. When we switch to analog signal, usign the same antenna, reception is fine. Additionally, if you want to record a show, you have to MANUALLY change the channel on the converter box - no way to pre-program channel changes - so if you're going out of town, you can record one channel. Had I known when I bought these how cheaply made they are, I'd have considered paying a little more for a better converter. |

| easy to set up. got all channels with rabbit ears, building my own UHF antenna for more channels and better signal. easy set up. doesn't have a separate zoom/crop/wide button like insignia, or picture freeze like the magnavox with the crappy remote. this remote is simple, easy to use, but... mine came a defective remote. |
