10 Comments/Reviews:
Works just fine. Some stations are changing from UHF to VHF so you must have both antennas for this to work and you must be within line-of-sight. If there are obstructions between you and the broadcast tower(s) then your only choice is cable or satellite.
We purchased 2 of the RCA DTA800B1 boxes last night at Walmart in Fort Worth, TX. They are selling them for $49.87. The nice thing about this brand is the channel buttons on the front (as someone pointed out if you misplace your remote you can still change channels). The picture quality is top notch. The only problem is we need to update our antenna, but no problem, this box has a smart antenna port in the back. That will be the next purchase. With the rabbit ears we get 39 channels. Who knows how many the smart antenna will give us.
I have two of these boxes. The picture comes in very crisp and clear; however, I only receive 5 channels. I'm not sure if it is the multiple antennas that I have tried or the box itself. If I turn the box off, I can get other channels with some snow, but still viewable; but these channels will not come through on the converter box. I am going to try a smart antenna to see if this helps.
Very good cost (5.00 after 40.00 rebate coupon) from WalMart. Very good picture and sound...have purchased a rooftop mounted antennae and have 70+ channels. Only drawback as I have seen another Zenith box which allows one to omit/delete channels one does not want and thus less to scan through...that are foreign language channels. Otherwise, this is great. CAn sit on side or base.
I bought this several months ago and it worked for a month or so. Now it won't power on. It just continuously flashes in standby mode. It's a piece of junk, I'd strongly recommend against it. I thought RCA would be a good name, but anymore it's all Chinese junk.
I have 2 of these hunks of junk at my house. I bought them both back in January and started using them right away. They have worked great until last week. Now neither one of them will power up. They broke within about 4 days of each other. Any suggestions?
I purchased two of these at the same time. One works great, the other works for about an hour, then starts losing channels. Local large box retailer is refusing to refund or replace.
Won't power-up and volumn control gone after about 4 months. Batteries not answer.
I bought two of these converter boxes back in the winter and set them up and I only got about 3 or 4 channels after June 12th. Now they have both quit on me. They will not even turn on. What is the problem other than they are junk?
I purchased a RCA DTA800B1. I agree, it's junk! Mine has worked a few mos. Also bought a new antenna. I never really got good reception. Then, finally couldn't get any signal at all. Thought it was the antenna-but, I changed the converter box to a Magnavox-Hope this one lasts longer. By the way, I have a better picture, and better signal with this box. (Same antenna)
