    Biggest piece of garbage. The first one I bought lasted over a year. Not bad for the price I guess. I bought two more in June 2024 so I would have a spare when the next one died. Anticipating getting at least a year out of each one. It's now November 1st 2024 and both converter boxes have died. Unbelievable. Looking at the reviews of other brands, they all seem to have the exact same problems, voices out of sync with picture, then one day, nothing. I would have thought a company like Best Buy would sell a better product. Save your money.

    Look Best Buy earned their name as far as I’m concerned. My Kitchen appliances were below everyone else, delivery was on time and installation professional as it gets. Customer Service is second to none. Thanks to all!

    A nice device when it's not locked up. No problem finding channels, and the included remote is nice too. However, it locks up at least once a week for no apparent reason. Only way I can unlock it is to unplug for 20 - 30 seconds and then plug it back in.

    Not entirely sure it’s doing what I was hoping it Would do as some of the tv channels still come in pixelated at times. Also the battery compartment seemed a bit large and the batteries would come loose and the remote wouldn’t work properly.
