"Caution, may not work well in small markets"
1.5 starson by newikePros: Nice remote; large buttons, remote is programmable to control volume and mute of TV
Cons: Flaky auto channel search algorithm and no option to set channels manually
Summary: Bought this box for my mom to use in a small city. The auto channel search feature was only able to find 2 of the 6 available channels (oddly enough it was to 2 farthest away). This would not have been a big deal if there had been a manual option for setting channels, but there is not. The Zenith/Insignia box we bought next was able to find 6 out of 6 easily.
I brought the RCA box to my house (large suburban area) and it was able to find 20 out of 20 channels without issue.
The box seems to work OK. However, I wouldn't recommend taking a chance on it - especially if you don't live in a large city.
