RCA DIRECTV System DRD480RE

We bought this RCA receiver when we got satellite 16 months ago. Its features were adequate but not intuitive. After 4 months of minimal use as a second-room receiver the unit stopped receiving 2/3 of all channels. Tech support offered very little...

Hauppauge DEC 1100-T

I bought one of these when it was just about being discontinued. Bought it to use with an old analogue/SCARTless TV and it's been brilliant. Plus Hauppauge even sent me a replacement mini SCART lead when I wanted to use it with my main TV and couldn't...

Gigaware® PC to TV Converter

OK, I use this product for watching netflix on my TV. The quality is pretty good, depends on the DVD or Stream most of the time, but no worse than my non HD Dvd plays on my non HD tv and no worse than the picture on my laptop, taking into account that...

I bought one of these from a bricks and boards store and (fortunately) bought a replacement extended warranty. My 4th unit since 12/9/01 has just failed entirely. Don't waste your money. Extended warranty or no, I'm ridding myself of this nuisance.

DGTEC DH-2000A

When HD began to break into the TV market, we were forced to buy one of these units with our new HD 1080p CRT TV as the tele didn't have a built in HD tuner. (Remember those days?). Well, that's when the problems began. As soon as we brought this unit...

RCA DRD430RG DirecTV Satellite Receiver

Product came in with no shipping issues. Product worked fine with no issues. I had a few issues with DirecTV trying to set it up, but that had nothing to do with the receiver itself.
