 Patience may be needed Sep 06, 2008
By J. Smith
For $[...] after the government rebate (I bought locally not on Amazon), this converter was a good choice for me. In setting it up, however, I got into an enthusiastic hurry and totally neglected to read the manual expecting a Converter Box to work like a DSL box...., i.e., attach the antennae and TV to the converter, plug TV and converter in and its done. NOT SO with the Digital to Analog Converter box. As per other reviewers, the manual instructions need to be followed. After attaching antennae to box to TV, I followed the instructions to scan in the digital channels but none were available, yet, as per the "no signal" message after fully scanning. Then, turning to manual pages 27 through 29, I learned how to "pass through" to analog channels, an additional few easy steps. Finally, with a bit of rabbit ear adjustment for each channel which is usual to pick-up signals in my area, I was done and the stations are coming in clearer with the converter box than with the antennae alone... NO SNOW. SNOW meant I had NOT quite gotten to the "pass through" instructions or had not taken extra time to hand adjust the antennae after "pass through" was complete... I also found (and haven't quite figured this one out) that I might need to "pass through" for an individual channel if the set-up worked for some but not all the analog channels. Follow the manual, take your time, and the Philco works fine (so far!).
Up-date: 8/28/2010 I purchased two of these converter boxes. One has worked fine. The other never worked. After setting it up, within a few minutes of turning on the TV and converter box (CB), the CB turned itself off. I resorted to using one television only and put the defective converter box away until this week when I tried it again. No luck. Still turns itself off within a few minutes. I called customer service for some help. Nice person but no real help but to tell me to find my receipt... which is likely long gone.

Works great, has a great feature Sep 09, 2008
By Krysta
"krystav"
Picked up two of these yesterday and I'm very happy with them.
They have one great feature in particular - through the menu you can access a signal strength meter. With the meter on, you can adjust your antenna for the best reception and it tells you the strength as you make adjustments. It takes the guess work out of it!
I have a dvd player with a built in converter on one of our tvs. I temporarily plugged in one of these boxes just to find the best antenna position and now we get several more channels.
The only thing I don't like is the remote. But I plan on programming a universal remote to work the box so I never have to look at their ugly one again.

 CECB - Philco TB100HH9 Apr 21, 2008
By William G. Croxton
"colck watcher"
This CECB (but not CE Amazon when I ordered) was a snap to hook up (even with a VCR in the mix). One local TV station already "digital" so I was able to see if the box worked, and it did. Non-digital channels came thru just fine. Wasn't really interested in digital channels being broadcast, so I just turned the converter box off and everything operated as if it wasn't there (great). As with any new product that "comes with a remote," I had to learn to use the new remote which was no big deal. Do wish, tho, that the manufacturer had seen fit to put ventilation louvers somewhere on the box. Signed ECBU.

 Remote alone makes this a "don't buy" Nov 17, 2008
By R. Heller
The basic functions (picture, etc.) work fine. However, I later bought an Insignia converter at Best Buy and then found out how deficient the features and remote of the Philco unit are. The Philco remote has some buttons that are as small as pinheads; it must be seen to be believed. Also it lacks direct button access to features such as zoom,letterbox, etc. You need to activate setup and go thru 2 more menus with those tiny buttons, unlike the Insignia which has direct access to that and many more functions. I'm sorry I did not buy 2 Insignia units, but it's hard to get this info until after you buy and operate the unit.

GREAT Analog Pass Through! Aug 31, 2008
By Logic
"Rules"
The fellow who rated this CECB as bad for analog pass through did NOT read the MANUAL!! You must simply turn on the analog pass through with SETUP. Most say that the picture is actually better than the original signal when pass through is turned on! But slightly less when the unit is turned off. Ergo...don't buy this box if you are a dimwit.
