Poor excuse for an expensive box

 

Poor excuse for an expensive box

I bought this "HDTV set top box" when there were no other choices of set top boxes. It was very expensive. Pro: reasonable picture, sound is ok, many choices of out put format. Con: Menu screen only works in the DVI out put mode, SAP does not work,...

Outstanding

I have a hard time giving anything 5 stars. This device is fantastic. Yes, reception varies from one city or neighborhood to the next but this tuner has provided me with outstanding service in four metro areas without signing on for cable or satellite...

The worst

 

The worst

I have a Mitsubishi widescreen HDTV-ready which I purchased 7 years ago. Since it does not have a built in tuner, I bought this product to bring in the HD broadcasts. I did not expect this unit to bring in all the stations by itself, so I bought a...

Too many little problems to be enjoyable.

 

Too many little problems to be enjoyable.

I bought this tuner to compliment my father's HD widescreen rear-projection television. It only had an analog tuner and it was only used to watch old tapes and grainy analog cable channels. I thought that this tuner will work with little to no problem...

SIR-T451

 

SIR-T451

Purchased mainly as an input source for ReplayTV and it works wonderfully well for that. It has a special channel quirk that allows it to be controlled by the ReplayTV unit. For example, the ReplayTV sends the unit a 29, it automatically changes to...

Works well for antennas

 

Works well for antennas

This is the second SIR-T451 that I have purchased. The unit works very well. I cannot justify the cost of cable and prefer to use an antenna for viewing over-the-air TV signals. When we purchased an HDTV and hooked it up to the antenna earlier this...

It works, but...

I've had this tuner about three months now. On the plus side, it works. The last tuner model I had, which shall remain nameless, had heat dissipation problems, and burned itself out after a few months. I went through three of them in a year, and when...
