| Summary: Impressive and EASY | ||
| In our home we have 2 tvs not hooked up to Directv. I bought this product and was AMAZED. The hook up was so easy... 5 minutes at the most. The reception is amazing. Before on those tv we were lucky to get 2 fuzzy channels. Now we get 16 channels crystal clear.
I was so impressed I bought another one and then bought two more for my in-laws. All 4 converters work excellent. |

| Summary: Picture better, sound worse | ||
| I hooked this up to my TV and although I now get more clarity in my picture, the sound is very low and I have to turn the TV all the way up (i.e. 50)in order to hear what I use to hear at a lower number level (i.e. 15). The remote appears cheap and there are no volumn settings on it, thus making it nessesary to have to use 2 remotes (TV and Converter remotes) just for sound. | ||

| Summary: TIVO compatible? | ||
| We have a Series 2 TIVO that we are told will not accept HD signals from our cable provider after Feb 2009. TIVO customer service told us that by using a digital to analog converter, we can continue to use all the functions built into the TIVO. Has anyone reading this experienced positive results by connecting the two boxes in series with a TV? | ||

| Summary: Not bad for the price.... | ||
| I'm in the Mpls/St. Paul metro area and it pulls in all of the digital signals available. I do need to adjust the antenna for some channels which is annoying, I may need to upgrade my antenna but I'm not sure. The positive is the on-screen guide - it gives descriptions of the shows (not just the name) and you can go 4 hours into the future. The big negative is the cheap remote control and the fact that there isn't a single button on the box itself. If you loose the remote (easy when you have a toddler in the house) you can't even turn the thing on much less change the channel! I bought our second one from Best Buy (Insignia brand) and it's remote can also do volume and turn the TV off and on making it so you only need to have one remote in hand. But the on-screen guide for the Insignia box only give the name of the show that is on and the next show, no description of the episode. | ||

| Rating: 1 (very poor) | Nickname: mdnormile | Date: 2008-05-19 |
| Summary: Marginal at Best ! | ||
| I purchased this unit (not from amazon). 1st the box is supposed to have "analog bypass" according to the CECB list on dtv2009.gov. It is not. As soon as the outdoor antenna was connected to the RF antenna-in jack, it made the channels on my tv (bypass mode) very snowy. The outdoor antenna coax was previously hooked up to TV, VHS, and satellite receiver w/o incident, prob not the antenna! 2nd it would only pickup 2 digital channels whereas an RCA converter would pickup 4 channels plus 2 subchannels. I contacted the manufacturer (funai-corp) and was advised this unit is not bypass capable and is not represented as such in the manual, which I desperately reviewed hoping to find that it was, sadly it isn't. Cus svc at funai-corp is useless! Only the admin dept can authorize factory warranty return, but you cannot talk to them directly! Cussvc will take your name and number and forward it to admin who will (supposedly) return your call. 5 messages and 2 weeks later no response! Do NOT buy the TB100HH9!! I questioned the fact it only rec'd 2 channels, and was advised I needed a digital antenna (bull)! When asked why the RCA box picks up more channels, was told it is recommended I use a digital antenna! If you live w/in 10/15 miles from the transmitter, this box MAY work ok, but is not analog bypass capable! I was told as long as it picked up 2 channels, it was working ok, AVOID!! | ||
