SansonicFT-300A Digital To Analog TV Converter Box

Love this lil box... Couldnt believe the quality of channels you dont have to worry about getting ..it does like it says... HIGHLY RECOMMEND.....

The converter box and remote control didn’t work so I returned it

I originally went to Target to buy a replacement unit but they didn't have the Sansonic one so I bought whatever they had. When I opened the box at home I discovered the converter was made of cheap plastic so returned it and then proceeded to buy the Sansonic which is made of metal through Amazon.This is my third converter box (same brand) since ?2009. Can't remember exactly when we switched to digital. I didn't throw out my previous converter box (the same brand) because I wanted to see if it was the box or the cord that went out. To my amazement it was cord (it detaches from the unit) so will try to look for another one in a thrift store I guess unless someone out there knows where I can buy a cord for it.

Just what I needed. Arrived as advertised.Great value.

The batteries were wrapped in plastic. Nothing would work. I checked the batteries after awhile and that was the problem! Very disappointed for the time wasted!!!

This box does what it's supposed to most of the time, but there are some major issues. For one, it changes the channel randomly. I can have the remote sitting on the table, not even pointing at the box, and the channel will just change randomly. The remote itself is a piece of junk (goes through 4-5 sets of batteries in the time it takes my DVD remote to go through 1 set even when I'm watching more DVDs than TV, has to be aimed just right or it doesn't work, buttons have to be pressed just right or nothing happens) and it's the only way to change channels! There are no buttons on the front of the device other than the on/off button, so if the remote gets misplaced or isn't working, you're out of luck. The box also takes forever to turn on and off. You have to press the power button and wait a few seconds to see if the light on the front is actually going to turn on/off. This wouldn't be so annoying if the remote actually worked, but since pressing the power button on the remote only works 2 out of 3 times, it can get very annoying to press the button, wait, press the button again, wait, etc. until the device actually decides to turn off. I think the "signal scrambling" issues other people are talking about have more to do with reception than the device, but this thing still isn't that great.

The old one died and not wanting to replace the tv, this one worked perfectly.

Worked like a champ, remote could've been more durable. I couldn't seem to buy just the remote to save the rig that worked fine. I found the nextest bestest thing at Remotespro.com. They'll load a chip into a new remote that works almost identical to any remote you ask for, so the rig still flies good.
