This converter box has been updated to the Magnavox TB100MG9 which includes analog pass-through.
The Magnavox TB100MW9 has been reported to have some reception problems. In order to solve the reception problems (a problem you will get with any converter box) you need to purchase a digital TV antenna.
Product Details: The Magnavox TB100MW9 displays a really good picture quality that is in the "2nd tier" and just a slight step below that of the top converter boxes. This converter boxes picture quality is better than the average analog broadcast. The sound quality of the Magnavox is an upgrade from analog but average at best when compared with other digital converter boxes. The L/R stereo outputs sound excellent but the RF output volume has a fuzzy sound to it when turned up. This converter box can be purchased for $45-$60 depending on the timing of your purchase. The TB100MW9 is sold out at most retailers and our recommened replacement is the Tivax STB-T8 or Dish Network DTVPal Plus.
The TB100MW9 have an above average programming guide that provides viewers with the show title, show run time, and a summary of upcoming and current shows. Like most other boxes you can also do a scan for all or manually tuen channels. This digital TV converter box also comes with adjustable closed captioning. This TV converter box does not come with analog pass-through.
This TV converter box is rated as one of the worst boxes on the market. Despite its good picture quality it does not provide great sound quality and it is missing the most important feature, analog pass-through. We recommend that you consider one of the alternative converter boxes from our dtv converter box reviews section.

let me start with, THIS IS THE WORST PIECE OF INVENTION EVER CREATED! i say this because it almost renders its self useless. you cant turn on the fucking thing without the remote, so if your out of batteries your out of luck. the piece of shit remote doesnt control volume, which means youll need your other remote! or have to get my ass up and change it while I'm doing something. the zenith has a guide where u can watch and scroll through channels at the same time, which the magnavox piece of shit doesn't! im probably only writting this negative letter because i own some zenith d-tv box's which prove them selves superior. please burn your d-tv to shit and take it off the shelves, it might do you some good. if only i can post this on multiple reviews, to warn people of your waste of digital crap.
If you were a smart American. you would realize that u only had to pay $10 for this unit. Your probably just one of the millions of stupid Americans who cant wrap their brains around the whole digital lifestyle. this black box is probably smarter than your lazy, dumbass. The box does exactly wat it is suppose to do, and that CONVERT! You wanna spend more money for featuers you dont even need to enjoy television, then u go right ahead. your broke ass probably cant afford it tho! u steal those zeniths??? lol. u bought zenith units then bought a magnavox u cheap bastard!!!lol u get wat u pay for. next genocide should be all u stupid americans who cant grasp the technological and corporate levels of America!!!
This is a horrible converter box. I only bought it (2, actually) because it was ALL Walmart was selling. I've already had to return one box because it shut off and never would come back on. The other one still works, but occassionally it shuts off on its own and I have to rescan. This happens an average of 3x a week. This is a piece of crap, I WANT MY COUPON BACK!!
piece of shyt box!!! got mines from walmart too!! it dont even give me all the channels, only 5, 9, & 21
This model has been nothing but trouble ever since the day I hooked up in December. Funai tells me wait until the conversion date which got pushed back to June 12 and rescan. I have to rescan sometimes just because the thing arbitrarily drops my channels without warning to try to get my channels back. One minute I get all my channels possible without having to get an outdoor antenna and the next thing I now it drops them or worse it gives me a black & white picture and static for sound! Funai won't take responsibility. Wal-mart won't exchange it for the newer box just because it's more than 90 even though the FCC says they should. I called Magnavox itself who suggest we ask for a supervisor at Funai to ask for an exchange since they haven't already offered one. But the FCC, my local broadcasters association and even technical support at my local television station agree with me, this box is a problem. Many people in my area have had nothing but problems with it. And unfortunately, we used the coupon on it. There went that coupon.
