1.0 out of 5 stars slow and weak, November 12, 2008

First the good - You can do a new scan and add it to the existing scan. Now the bad, it only picks up very close and strong stations, switching between stations is very slow, it does not have a program guide, and the remote range is poor on some functions(on/off is ten feet, others maybe up to eighteen feet). I have a sixteen foot amplified rotating antenna which gives me perfect reception from stations 120 miles away in analog, but with this unit I can hardly get some of the stations that are fifty miles away and only some of the time. I have heard that other units have better reception and that the digital signals are weak. Looks like free TV in the US is gone except in or close to major cities. I will be only watching Canadian TV come Feb (No plans for digital in Canada yet).

1.0 out of 5 stars Broke after three weeks, November 20, 2008

I bought this converter based off of a lot of research and reviews of the different inexpensive boxes on the market. I thought I was making an informed decision and bought TWO of the Access HD 1080U converters. After using it for only three weeks, one of them broke. It won't read anything and all I get is static. I would recommend buying something else, as I am going to have myself.

2.0 out of 5 stars this box has problems, February 12, 2009

This review is from: Access HD 1080U Digital to Analog TV Converter Box (Electronics)

this converter box gets very warm when on and from time to time
won't go off when you turn it off, and has to be unplugged to
reset it. the "pretty" universal remote is difficult to hold and
use. even though the picture is very good, CHOOSE SOMETHING ELSE!!
