    I should have listened to the other reviews about this product. It is by far the worst tuner I've ever purchased. Here's why: 1. The unit SUPER saturates all of the video output so people start looking red and video starts to get distorted. There's no way to fix this internally. You'll need to desaturate your TV set by A LOT, so playing games look washed out now. 2. The audio and video get out of sync very often with this unit, the video will start to lag 0.5 to 1.5 seconds behind the audio and the unit will not self correct 3. This unit likes to crash. Like, a lot. The unit will freeze an spit out some weird UNIX commands (This must be a linux box), an then that's it, you gotta restart it, it pooped the bed. I love the fact that the developers took the time to throw tetris as a game in this unit, but didn't find the time to properly test this unit before sending it out to production and the sales floor. STAY AWAY FROM THIS UNIT! I suggest trying to find an older Zenith or RCA unit, those worked SO MUCH BETTER.
