Cons The converter is really slow to tune to channels and the biggest drawback of all is that there is no previous channel button on the remote. Well worth an additional $10. There are a few channels now that just display and unusable signal message. on January 6, 2009 by rotenk  | Read full review

Cons for $10.00 what's not to like? on December 21, 2008 by trackerdan  | Read full review

Cons horrible tuner, bad signal lock, easily overheated, horrible feedback loop when it loses signal (last 1/2 second of audio loops continuously until signal is rediscovered) I will not buy another one of these pieces of crap on December 13, 2009 by cgallaway  | Read full review

Cons Universal remote did not work, we tried it on 2 different TV's. Therefore it couldn't control the sound level or turn the TV on/off. Don't waste your money/rebate on this useless piece of junk! on November 24, 2008 by gat135  | Read full review

Cons My DTA8ooB1 manufactured July 2009 dropped EPG features. The "info" remote button displays program title but the EPG dropped "what's on now" "what's on next." on September 30, 2009 by Nonconformista  | Read full review

Cons I have had three of these fail. At first it seems like the antenna , but then you realize it is the converter box. on September 26, 2009 by bthancock  | Read full review

Cons The remote did not have a "back" button for reverting for the previous channel. But my biggest complaint is that it quit after 3-1/2 months! on September 11, 2009 by zaftiggoddess  | Read full review

Cons Remote doesn't work unless pointed directly at the unit and not sitting on a table/sofa. When scanning channels, often freezes on multiple channels without response for 5-10 seconds. Lost half my channels when official transition occured. on July 25, 2009 by Hulkster72  | Read full review

Cons This is junk. I lose audio, audio-video sync etc. and have to turn off and then turn unit back on and off several times to get it to work. I have two of these and they both are like this. Is it the new DTV standard or RCA? on July 20, 2009 by cmccarle2000  | Read full review

Cons Purchased two units and they both quit working for no apparent reason - one less than 30 days and one less than 90 days. They were purchased with coupon a year before needing them - and do not have receipt to return. on July 3, 2009 by bestil  | Read full review

Cons Cheaply soldered and will likely need to be replaced if it is not stationary or you use heavy cable for the antenna. If you move the antenna to much or you live in a second story (no kidding about this) this box will not last you past a 3-4 months. on June 25, 2009 by missingxtension2  | Read full review
