Customer Review: WARNING - This does not have an ATSC tuner
No where in the specifications on this site or many other sites does it mention that this box only has an NTSC tuner and will no longer receive over the air TV signals after February 19, 2009. After that you will need a digital converter box to use this device. Don't waste your money!
Customer Review: Menu in Chinese & other Asian Languages
I could not find, in the menu selection, any English, all were either Chinese or other Asian language. I guessed my way through and did manage to set it up. PIP doesn't work, it turns everything a blue hue. I didn't receive a VGA cable as advertised, but instead got a VGA/S-Video. Doesn't work with my monitor. I used an old VGA cable with good results. The overall results aren't any better than a two of the score five. I would not recommend this unit beyond using it as a set channel from a cable box or satellite box.
