Not everyone wants to replace their old analogue TV sets, especially if they're still in perfect working order. In addition, the bad economy means that people are looking for ways to save money, including discontinuing their cable or satellite TV subscriptions. However, now that digital television has taken over, there needs to be a way for "old-fashioned" TVs to receive the new over-the-air digital signals.
The RCA digital converter box is a perfect choice for people who want to breathe new life into their old TV sets, especially for those who want to stop paying for television and receive free over-the-air signals again.
Using this digital converter box is extremely easy. Plug your antenna into the box and plug the box into your TV with the included cable. The markings on the back of the box make figuring out what goes where easy. Plug the box into the wall electrical outlet, and you're ready to begin.
Tune your TV to channel 3 or 4 (use the switch on the back of the box to find the channel that works best for you). The first thing you will need to do is to scan for the available channels. Once this is done, simply tune your digital converter box to the channel you want to watch, and that's all there is to it! You will use the digital converter box, not your TV's built-in tuner, to change channels.
The on-screen display not only tells you what channel you are watching, but also what program you're watching, and a short description of the program, assuming the station you're watching broadcasts that information. (Most do.) This box also receives all the digital sub-channels that are broadcast in your area. More importantly, some low-powered TV stations still broadcast in analogue format, which this box also receives, so you won't miss out on any stations in your area.
The on-screen menu to set up the box is very user-friendly, and the box itself is so easy to use - I had mastered it in all of two minutes.
Searched the web for this item. Many complaints about other manufactures. RCA HAS WORKED GRATE FOR ME..... a grate buy... J Abbott,, Saint Cloud,,,,ps,, will get at least 32 channels in Orland area and central fl.

I bought this converter in order to be able to use my tv again. Lightweight, simple design but it works... Have some difficulties trying to fix the volume from its remote to the converter box... think I have to read again its manual.. This was the cheapest price that I found...

It will be used on a non digital tv and the converter works I can use this old tv for a back up incase my bigger tv would go
Chicago Heights, IL
It freezes all day long!! I should've taken it back! It defeats the whole purpose of the purchase. No matter how much I adjust the antennas it still skips and freezes, which is annoying! Half the time I have it on mute just so I won't hear the stuttering of the words!!!! #tragic

Maybe this converter is OK for someone else, but it didn't work out for me. It wouldn't bring in Phila., PA's local ch. 3. The sleep timer is 4 hours, my last converter gave me a minimum choice of 1 hour. 4 hours is much too long. These were the main issues I had with the box.

The RCA Digital Converter provides a good picture and sound. I like the antenna tune feature and the ability to position the box vertically. Box can also operate with a RCA Universal remote control.
