This converter box was easy to set up, the remote actually works(the apex one did NOT), picture quality was excellant(never on the apex box) up until a week ago but it seems to clear up by itself after a coupel minutes(hope that does not mean it is starting to go out already)... What I really miss are the features that are available on my Insignia converter box, which by the way still works perfectly after 1-1/2 years... I will keep the Zinwell though, it was half the price of Insignia...

Great video quality.
I bought this based on the video quality reviews and it definitely delivers. So mush so that I bought another for my second TV. The user interface is easy to use and program as well. I've got this hooked up to my tivo series 2 box and everything works just fine with the IR blasters. No complaints would recommended.

Buy Another Box, Please
I read a number of reviews before I purchased this converter box; this one had such favorable reviews, I couldn't go far wrong, right? Wrong. The box does nothing but tell me there is a bad or no signal when I hook it up. The no return policy means I'm out $40. Thankfully a friend took pity on me and gave me a spare Magnavox converter that works well for me. Please realize this box might not work for you, despite all the glowing reviews.

Perfect for my treadmill
I purchased this unit for my TV in my exercise room. It was easy to install and works very well.

Love it!
Easy to use, strong tuner, best money I've spent in a while. Shut off my cable
it's so good.
