You guys say that one will be $40. Now Wally World has something at $50 and you call them "pretty cheap"? k. ]]>Feb 11th 2008 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/wal-mart-gets-dirt-cheap-on-digital-to-analog-tv-converters/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/wal-mart-gets-dirt-cheap-on-digital-to-analog-tv-converters/Feb 11th 2008 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/wal-mart-gets-dirt-cheap-on-digital-to-analog-tv-converters/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/wal-mart-gets-dirt-cheap-on-digital-to-analog-tv-converters/
Bought one without coupon for testing.... (Return after I get my coupons, gotta love Walmart's return policy)
Darn thing keeps reception pretty dang well

Only thing I'd change is no zoom or CC button on the remote have to go into the menu to change either) and I'd change the remote to a universal remote.
Hey it's cheap and works awesome!

Also need to add that it doesn't hang between changing channels or make you wait to change channels. Takes less than a second to lock the channel.
But it happens on every channel change even subchannels.

All in all, If this is the worst box, then it is quite worth getting a box or two]]>Feb 11th 2008 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/wal-mart-gets-dirt-cheap-on-digital-to-analog-tv-converters/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/wal-mart-gets-dirt-cheap-on-digital-to-analog-tv-converters/Feb 11th 2008 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/wal-mart-gets-dirt-cheap-on-digital-to-analog-tv-converters/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/wal-mart-gets-dirt-cheap-on-digital-to-analog-tv-converters/Feb 11th 2008 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/wal-mart-gets-dirt-cheap-on-digital-to-analog-tv-converters/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/wal-mart-gets-dirt-cheap-on-digital-to-analog-tv-converters/Feb 11th 2008 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/wal-mart-gets-dirt-cheap-on-digital-to-analog-tv-converters/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/wal-mart-gets-dirt-cheap-on-digital-to-analog-tv-converters/Feb 11th 2008 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/wal-mart-gets-dirt-cheap-on-digital-to-analog-tv-converters/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/11/wal-mart-gets-dirt-cheap-on-digital-to-analog-tv-converters/
