1.0 out of 5 stars useless and frustrating, September 7, 2008

This review is from: GE 23333 Digital to Analog TV Converter Box (Electronics)

This digital converter occasionaly detects channels, but most of the time it says "no channels." I try over and over to scan for channels without success. Even when it says it finds 12 channels, as soon as I exit the Menu area to watch TV, it says "no channels." I thought it might be my antenna, cables, or location in the house so I switched it with my digital LCD TV (19" Ensignia) in another room. It still couldn't find any channels. Meanwhile my digital TV comes in just fine in the location and with the antenna that this device won't work with.
Find something better.

1.0 out of 5 stars no cigar, February 12, 2009

Looks neat. Easy to set up.I use it with a cute, three panel and dipole antenna GE unit. Good picture and sound. BUT:
On one channel, every ten to fifteen minutes, it locks up- flashes the same frozen picture 2 or 3 times a second, makes a noise of a quick "duh duh duh duh" continually until it is shut off and restarted. It is consistently wierd on that channel.
As I only get two HD signals, taking one out of the mix is a significant reduction in potential viewing.
The backup Apex unit works well.
I may just have a bad unit GE23333, but my experience is a one hundred per cent do not buy recommendation.
Unless you enjoy keeping the remote close to hand for repeated minor remedial surgery. Not my cup of tea.
Regards

1.0 out of 5 stars Will time out and loses signal often, February 24, 2009

I have been so frustrated with this box, we are exchanging it today for another. If it is on for more than a couple of hours the remote will no longer be able to change channels (it times out) and last night was the final straw when it would randomly shut itself off and on.

Very frustrating.
