5.0 out of 5 stars Great little device, December 28, 2004

I needed a cheap little device to hook up a DVD player and laptop to an old TV. This device does it very nicely. Picture quality is great from the DVD player and my laptop.

I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a simple cheap solution to hooking up a DVD player to an old TV.

3.0 out of 5 stars Low price, but . . ., April 4, 2006

I do appreciate this box's functionality - I've got an old TV without composite video input (the red/yellow/white hookups); only a single coaxial input. This box let me hook up DVD player/XBox/whatever to the TV, and it worked flawlessly, but only for about three months. Now the connections within the unit itself are loose, and it's essentially useless. My feeling is that the reason this unit is so inexpensive is because it's shoddily manufactured. I'd shell out a little more for the Recoton version or maybe Radioshack's version. Just know that this will probably die before a year is up.

I just got this unit to replace a TERRIBLE Terk Mini Modulator (don't buy, don't buy, don't buy) and the Philips product works great. Picture and sound quality are much better than I expected. It's nice to find something with a price this low that works this well.
