Rating: - Dissapointed...
EXPECTATION: A full featured TV tuner to be used with a HD monitor.
REALITY: A glorified DTV tuner, much like the $50 units offered with the exception of an HDMI, Toslink & RGB output.
PROS: It provides a quality video output.
CONS: Weak line level audio output performance, WIll not receive SD cable broadcast, Very slow startup, Only controlled from the remote, Weak menus for channel setup & very slow channel learning.
This product did not do what I expected nor does it preform well. In particular, the line level audio output is not very ... Read More
Rating: - Only good for HDMI TV inputs
I need to supplement the analog tuners in my DVRs. This unit is useless for anything that does not have a RGB or HDMI input. The sound quality using analog connections is awful, too. The unit produces a loud buzz on the audio channels that makes hearing any sounds practically impossible.
You cannot use this unit on an analog-only TV or a VCR or DVR with analog-only inputs. I tried every connection on the back of the box & could not get a picture through my recorder. The RGB component connection worked only on my TV, but I don't need it there.
Rating: - Good reception but very buggy
Not wanting to pay for poor local cable service, I put up a rooftop antenna and used this tuner with an older 720p LCD TV. Set-up was a brick wall at first because the manual isn't very useful. Finding auto-scan got things going. An online web site translating DTV to channel frequencies helped in manually adding channels that needed antenna rotation.
HDTV colors are rich and cinema-like though the HDMI port. Digital audio and video quality is as good as the TV station can provide. Reception is very good. Channels that have moderate snow and ghosting in analog are flawless in digital. ... Read More
Rating: - Did not work for me
The receiver can pickup only one channel and that too without audio! The rest of the channels are reported as weak signal or no signal. I have used other receivers that work fine with my Sylvania ED TV. I bought it because it had component out and was reasonably priced. Too bad, it did not work for me.
Rating: - It is a must have converter if you don't want to pay a cable bill.
It is a must have converter if you don't want to pay a cable bill. It is a must have if you have no digital tuner in your TV and no cable. It is way better than the goverment coupon eligible converter box because it comes with all different cables like the component cable and others. It also works if you have a cable in two rooms and you don't have it in the third room or another area, you can still use it as the box that you wood rent from the cable company. It scanned about 20 channels but it doesn't show them all, may be it is caused by the antenna. It all varies by the area, but it a great converter ... Read More
