Died after a few months. Does not turn off unless you unplug it. It's box with a light now. Does nothing. No picture on TV. Tried to connect with S-video and audio cables as well as component video cables and plain RCA video cables. Nothing. I...

Great Box

 

Great Box

Works very well and the price is right. Also has a digital coax output for digital audio and better for long lengths. Optical outputs have to be short. Remote control full of features. Does not pick up any on the air analog stations, just digital ones.

Very good tuner, but not great.

 

Very good tuner, but not great.

Picks up all channels on 2nd floor on house, but misses 2 of 12 channels on the 1st floor. Twenty miles away from broadcasting channels and only using an indoor amplified antenna. What is really sweet is my old HD tunerless 32" HDTV is working again!

So far...so good

 

So far...so good

I purchased the receiver when my LCD-TV's internal HD receiver quit functioning. I've had 3 - 4 weeks to play with the receiver, and so far, so good. It does what I needed it to do. NOTE: If you are looking for a digital to analog receiver capable...

Inexpensive way to get over the air high definition programming

I do not have cable or satellite service and was looking for an inexpensive product that would receive over-the-air high definition television signals. I found this product on Amazon, read the description of the product and ordered it. And it does...

Wrong but good.

 

Wrong but good.

Instead of the Coby I received a Samsung SIR-T451 from Horsie Love. The Samsung is a better Brand/Model. I am happy with this. I told Horsie Love about this and asked for a receipt for the Samsung and never got a receipt for the Samsung.

Not too bad.

 

Not too bad.

For the price this little box does a fair job. When I first got it I noticed a buzzing noise coming from my TVs speakers, when I disconnected the Coby box it went away. I found that the volume level on the Coby box was set to midrange and pushing it...
