Rating: 1 (very poor) Nickname: Don Rohn Date: 2009-08-18
Summary: Unit operated reliably on 2 occasions then crashed
I purchased 2 of the units early on in the program for use in our motor home which has analog sets that are too new to replace. I hooked them up and tried them immediately then put them away untill the mandated switch to digital. Last month we took a trip to a State Park outside a digital viewing area but within range of Canadian analog stations. They worked fine on analog passthrough but when I tried to switch back to digital the set would not switch. I talked to the retailer where I purchased them and learned that the problem was a common one with the early Philcos and to contact the manufacturer. I did and learned that since the unit is over a year old they will not stand behind it. One is still functioning but not for long I suspect. I will have to replace both but it will not be with a Funai product,nor will I ever consider a product manufactured or distributed through them. A VERY dissatisfied customer

Summary:
I tried to find out the life of my Philco TB100HH9 converter box. I believe this information should be received before purchase. Anyway, we bought it in June 2009 and it is now dead. Is this the nature of the beast? Does it have to be replaced every 13 months? We liked it until it died. We didn\t mind using two remotes to get all of the functions that we needed. We are trying a less expensive brand on another old TV. We might be able to find out the life of that one and change all of them. Why is there built-in obsolescence? Is this to force us to buy new TVs?

Philco TB100HH9 Review #3
Rating: 1 (very poor) Nickname: anonymous Date: 2009-06-14
Summary: Lousy to say the least
We got this converter box and it isn't worth the plastic they used to make it. We only can get channels from Europe!!!! We can't get a single US channel. It is a piece of junk. Plan to go out and buy a Zeinth.


Philco TB100HH9 Review #4
Rating: 4 (good) Nickname: hugh_murray Date: 2008-10-29
Summary: Great for the price
I wanted something that was as cheap as possible but would do the job, as it would only be a back-up for my cable. It has a sharp clear picture and a decent remote for the money.
