A great little converter box.

I had the same converter box for probably 10 years now and it started to go bad. So this is just a replacement for my old one that served me very well. I get about 99 channels with this box, but I probably only watch about 4 or 5 of them. And any of the channels that have ample strength, which in my case are most of them, you will view a great picture. If you live in an area where your TV signals are weak, it's going to affect the clarity of the picture. It's well worth the money if you have an old analog TV set. I would highly recommend it to anyone having an analog TV that gets stations over the open airways.

Slightly better than the older version.

The set-up is simple. Programming isn't too terribly complicated either. The latest units still have an annoying habit of rebooting 2 or 3 times a day. This latest unit holds it's programming if power is cut off to it, whereas the older units had to be reprogrammed anytime power was cut off to it. Yes, this is the 3rd or 4th one I've purchased over the years. Think I should upgrade one of these days...LOL

hooked up easily where my old digital convertor was that went bad. The core innovations has brought in stations for me close to 50 to 60 miles away in 120 degree out different towers. I like that it list what your schedule is and the remote seems to function reliably. It scans for channels easily and seems to function as advertised at least in my circumstance. I am so glad walmart had this as it allows me to watch some of my favorite sports with an ota antennae and older magnavox tv that would not accept digital signals without the core innovations digital converter.
