This box did nothing at all. I had two channels before the box and I had two channeles with their box. I purchase a highly rated antenna still nothing. This weekend I looked all over the internet for ways to make it work nothing worked. Tried to send the box back for a refund within 3 days of the purchase they would not give me a refund.
What kind of customers service is this? Make sure you know this box works before you purchase.

This company sucks !!!!! Like someone else wrote my converter box also stopped working. I called the company and got a recording to go online ...no help there, called the company again left a message ...no one called me back , called them again and pushed every exchange trying to talk to a real person and finally found a message that told where to send the broken unit for replacement...I mailed it off and after several weeks got a replacement that does not even turn on. I wrote a letter to them and they did call and said the problem is probably the cord and they gave me a telephone number to call if the replacement cord does not solve the problem...after 3 weeks and not recieving the cord I called the number and someone disconected me then it kept going to voice mail that said mailbox full. I eventually talked to the guy who originally called in response to my letter and he said the cord was suppose to have been sent...well it has been over 2 months and I still do not have the cord. I am so glad I bought a new digital TV or I would still have no TV in my kitchen. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY ....LISTEN TO THE CRITICAL REVIEWS WE ARE TELLING THE TRUTH!!!!

I got this convertor box with the government coupon. After installing, I noticed a constant humming noise (not bad if TV was loud enough) and faint diagonal strobing. I thought: Well, so much for the "wonderful new digital TV signal." One evening in early August, just 3½ months after installing, I turned the TV on, and had no digital picture. I checked to make sure that nothing on the box had been turned off or unplugged and that there were no loose connections between it and the TV, or antenna. Everything was fine. The box, usually quite warm to the touch, was colder than an icecube! I unhooked everything, and plugged the box into a different outlet: Nothing... dead. I had bought a Phillip's convertor box to hook up to my VCR so I could watch one channel/record another. I hadn't hooked it up yet, so unpacked it and hooked it up to the TV. Guess what?- NO humming noise, NO diagonal strobing..... PERFECT picture. The Access HD boxes were, I believe, created to fill an underestimated demand. People ordered them when there was little else available and got ripped off, in my opinion. Some might say that folks shouldn't complain if they got them with a coupon, but- the changeover was NOT supposed to incur fees/charges to the consumer. Now, I have to purchase a new box for my VCR at full cost to me. I think Amazon should feel embarrassed to be associated with the Access HD products!

In addition to terrible quality You cannot get warranty service. On their internet site you get warranty policy but are refered to a telephone number for service. You call the number and get refered back to their web site. You can not speak to a person. After going through their automated answering menu at considerable length, I was finally greeted with "good bye" and a disconnect.

I have purchased 5 different converters. (2 from "GEM" are already out of order after less than a month. 1 in my daughter's room is working fine.) 2 of them are HD access. It takes about 20 seconds for it to turn on. The cable provided with both converters have broken and we had to buy our own. There is NO warranty on any of these boxes if they were purchase with the government coupons. And I'm not too sure about the policy if paying for it fully. I have been told there are none either way. After 2 days of use and buying new antennas as well, I still can't watch a whole show without interruption of signal, and usually at crucial punchlines. The machine stays hot, and the cable connections heat up too. The volume doesn't work, but the mute does. I had to reset it several times before it would go out of mute. In my opinion this whole digital conversion is a scam and will eventually make it so all citizens have to PAY for any television service, including local news. We are doomed to cave to the cable man!..
