    Don’t waste your money

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The major complaint with this set top box is that the remote control won’t work unless it is pointed directly at the unit’s infrared eye. This is impossible unless you get up off your seat and move within a few feet of the unit.Even then,the remote fairly responds. In summary,please don’t waste your money and shame on the retailer for selling it to unsuspecting customers.

    No Multi System Remote Option

    Irritated that you cannot add the unit to multi system remote. Phoned Customer Service and confirm this cannot be done with their product.

    Unreliable

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The unit will ranndomly lockup when given a command from the remote and after a bit automatically reboot. The unit will randomly lockup and it must be unplugged and after plugging in will reboot itself.

    Audio is behind video

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The audio does not match the video and this is annoying. A reboot sometimes helps but then falls out of synch again. The first unit I returned because the remote stopped working after a few hours of use. These units are cheaply made. I do not recommend this brand.

    Converter box to use antenna

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought the converter box to connect an antenna to my TV. My TV didn't have a coaxial connection. It worked great and I can get many channels now. It was just what I needed after I cancelled cable.

    This converter works very well. It allows the user to position Close-captioned text at one of three places on the screen, which is a great option.

    Works fine until......

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Works just fine...until it doesn't! My first one failed in less than 2 years and the second one failed after 100 days. Both just flat out died! This unit is not listed in any Top 10 list I have seen and I don't know why Best Buy carries such an inferior unit.

    Working Great So Far

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Since February 2021, I've had a U-003 converter box from Amazon. That converter box quit working recently, so I replaced it with this Aluratek converter box. So far, it is working great for me! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to watch digital TV on their analog set.
