Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The picture is crisp and clear, and the channels come in good. Rca's on-screen prompts for adding or deleting stations are so much better than the magnavox. All you really need if the converter has been set up and programmed.

Cons

This item is not amazon returnable. Right now it is only useful as a chew toy for my dog. Amazon will not take the unit back and refund my money, they want to send me another piece of junk.

The only solution is to unplug the unit and re-plug it in and then it will turn on just fine. This morning there was no audio. If the unit does not work, un plug the ac power cord and plug it back in.

The box has terrible reception.

The heads need to be placed directly in front of the box's ir sensor. On the outside of the packaging box, the picture of the rca converter definitely shows a separate sensor light. The remote hasn't a recall button.

Arrived in a timely manner and was new in the box as advertised.

Packaging/appearance

My device did not come with remote, nor user manual, and -with a few nicks in the product- was wrapped in bubble packaging, wit... Read More
