Remote is very ''Buggy'' -When it does respond (only when RIGHT in front of it) Push volume up and volume goes down (vice versa). Push Channel down and it goes up...ect. Definately Gremlins!
I got a good amplified indoor antenna ($50) and I still get only a few channels even when I put the antenna way out on my floor by the window. BTW- I live right between Washington DC and Baltimore... no ''weak'' signals here. I'm getting one that is worth more then the box it came in...

Same as others have said - slow to program automatically, drops signals easily when someone walks through the room, then requires a complete re-scan when it is frozen - and does not work well when plugged into VCR and then TV.

Had major problems with the unit when first installed, was doing freaky things. Found out that I had a broken center conductor in coax feed. Still can't figure out how that made it act the way it did, but upon reterminating the coax it works fine. If you have gremlins I recomend you check your cableing. It would be nice if it had channel buttons, and the remote is a little weak. But good value for price.

ATSC - Means 2009
Digital TV Ready
Buy with confidence that ATSC TVs are designed for the future! The ATSC Standard for Digital
Television (DTV) encompasses a number of Standards, Practices, and
Guidelines for Digital Television. What it means for today's television
consumer is that ATSC TVs are ready for the future! They comply with
the requirements for the transition to Digital TV sets and all digital
transmission to occur by February 17th, 2009. ATSC Digital Ready TVs
have digital tuners already. TVs and related Tuner products that are
not ATSC will require a separate digital tuner after the transition date.
How To Protect Your HDTV And Make It All
Work!
You've bought your ideal television or home
theater, but have you considered how you will protect it, or make it all
work together? It's not as complex as it might seem, but it is
important to consider, since devices may work differently, and have
incompatible modes. Plus after investing in your hardware, bad things
can happen to damage them.
MOST IMPORTANT: SURGE
PROTECTION If you have a
computer, you know all about surge suppressors and battery back-up UPS
devices. But do you have a UPS for your HDTV and Home Theater
system? HDTVs and Home Theater systems are just as susceptible to
surge and power damage as computers, so it is critical you add a very good
surge suppressor or UPS to your setup at once! Plus if you have a UPS, you'll be able to watch TV or listen to music if the power goes off! (for as long as the battery lasts of course!)
CONTROLLING IT ALL: ADVANCED
REMOTE CONTROLS Almost
every device you have came with a remote control, some even are called
Universal Remote Controls. But every device, HDTV, or Home Theater
component has special features and functions, not supported by the generic
Universal Remotes, especially if you want "One Button" control of several
devices at once. For these you need Advanced Remote Controls, that
not only control everything, but reduce it all down to One Button tasks
that even a Cave Man could operate!
GOT HELP? GET AN
INSTALLATION & SETUP SERVICE With some of
today's HDTV and Home Theater systems, you may want to consider getting
expert help from certified technicians that can quickly install your HDTV
on your wall, hide the cables and wires, balance the display settings and
the 7.1 surround sound, for the maximum in sound and picture quality.
You can still tell your friends and family that you did it, it will just be our
secret!
GET A GUARANTEED
BUYBACK FOR YOUR HDTV Another way to
protect your investment, given the changing pace of technology, is to add a
Guaranteed Buyback to your HDTV purchase. This will guaranty the
trade-in value of your HDTV a year or two in the future, when you will be
ready to upgrade to the latest technology.
