| Although I was able to receive more channnels with this box than a competitors box, I was surprised with this model that there is not an on/off switch on the box and that you cannnot change channels without the use of the remote. I wonder how useful this box will be if you lose the remote or if the remote stops working. |
| Basic box with recording problems and a tiny-button remote | 2008-09-20 | 2 / 5 |

A very plain box that works ok except for lining into a VCR. Couldn't record with it. Setup was very easy. The remote has very tiny buttons and could be difficult to read/locate for some folks.
Ended up buying two Radio Shack DTX9950 boxes after setting up one for my Mom. It was the easiest of the three that I've set up (I also tried the Insignia NS-DXA1, which I also reviewed on ). Also had no reception or recording problems. And the remote is also the best of the three. |

| local walmart sells this box for $50. this was my first box. didn't know i'll have to use 2 remotes to watch tv. very annoying. guided setup was easy. picture quality was ok, sometimes choppy. remote is horrible. tiny buttons, requires 2 AA batteries. controls only channels. everything else must be controlled with tv remote. this box is very slow. going from one channel to another could take 6+ seconds to scan for signal. took it back, lost coupon. got a different brand box, very responsive, perfect reception with same antenna. this magnavox gets 1 star for being slow, poor reception, and ridiculous remote. |
| By an RCA converter instead at Wal-mart | 2008-09-09 | 1 / 5 |

I bought a Magnavox and an RCA converter at Wal-mart each for $50 minus the Government coupons final cost $10 each .
The Magnavox is awful. The Remote control has tiny buttons and the unit has bad reception.
The menu is just as bad.
The RCA has a Remote control with large buttons and it will even control my TV's volume and power. The Reception is very good and signal strength meter for every channel.
It has a channel list just like a Satellite receiver.
Don't waste you money on the Magnavox (Funi) :-{
Buy the RCA instead!! :-} |

| Like everyone else I got this box at wal-mart for $9.99 with the coupon. Even though I only live 10 miles from the city, my rabbit ears could not pick up a consistant signal. People moving around and airplanes knocked it out. I ended up using a rooftop yagi style antenna. I get all six locals at a 95 strength signal, and 4 channels about 50 miles away from cincinnati around 40 strength. All pictures and sound are fine and very clear. It says its a Magnovox but its made by Funai from China. They use the Sylvania and Insignia labels too. The remote is awful awful. Tiny buttons that respond poorly, and to change screen ratio you have to go into the menu every time. Made from cheap plastic and it is so light the cable pulls it off the tv. Counting all the sub-channels I get around 21 channels. The trouble is there isnt much on them. One channel has a weather channel but, the rest are infomercials and judge shows. Its a shame too because the locals could compeat with cable if they offered 21 quality channels. Instead, we are treated to a long list of boring programming witch simply bores the viewer. My elderly father thought he would be seeing animal shows and movie channels and maybe local sports. Instead I find him in his chair depressed while watching Judge seymore rule on a case with two fat women, over and over and over. The infomercials are just as bad. Weedwackers that play music, people buying houses for $100 and sellig them for 2.8 milliom, floor mops that change a womens life, all sort of drinks to claen your colon out, bald guys swinging thier new hair all over the screen, You get it. Only prime time seems worth watching. There are a few sub-channels running a sign saying nothing is on. Things are getting worse too. Cable seems to have law and order on every channel over and over and over and we pay for this crap. I read in a mag that out of 200 available channels we watch only 20 consistantly, but every month we write that check to futillity. |
