Buyer's review: - Great Converter box
I bought this and another brand converter box and I love them both...they do exactly what I anticipated and more...highly recommended...the price was great too with the government coupon.
Buyer's review: - Works Well, no surprises
This converter was easy to set up, quickly adds all available digital channels and the picture quality is really a lot better than I imagined. With the set-top antenna I had to change the orientation to get more than three clear analog channels. All available over-the-air channels are now clear with digital, using the same antenna.
This box is a little slow to change channels. As far as I can tell, it's also not possible to delete one subchannel without deleting them all for a given channel, so if you have duplicates (one is the same as the next except it's only partial screen) it's not possible to just get rid of one. That said I'm overall happy with my purchase.
Buyer's review: - Remote alone makes this a "don't buy"
The basic functions (picture, etc.) work fine. However, I later bought an Insignia converter at Best Buy and then found out how deficient the features and remote of the Philco unit are. The Philco remote has some buttons that are as small as pinheads; it must be seen to be believed. Also it lacks direct button access to features such as zoom,letterbox, etc. You need to activate setup and go thru 2 more menus with those tiny buttons, unlike the Insignia which has direct access to that and many more functions. I'm sorry I did not buy 2 Insignia units, but it's hard to get this info until after you buy and operate the unit.
Buyer's review: - Excellent
Unit was very easy to setup and worked great. No problems have since order a second unit as we were that impressed.
Buyer's review: - Easy
This product was incredibly easy to set up and program and works as expected. I am pleased with the price and the result that I am seeing.
