"PLEASE READ THIS! As you read through the reviews on this product you will see that many people give it low ratings and say it does not work. Unfortunately what these reviewers fail to understand is that digital TV signals work very differently from conventional signals and in many cases it is necessary to use a different type of antenna in order to pick them up. Anyone who complains "I used to get a channel and now I get nothing" fails to acknowledge that this is NOT a result of the Digital Stream converter being a bad product, but merely the fact that they are trying to pick up the new technology on an old antenna. The truth is unless you live within a relatively short distance of the television transmitter itself (several miles), an old fashioned set of "rabbit ears" sitting on top of the TV is probably not good enough to do the job. For one thing, most of the new digital signals are on UHF channels, even if the channel number is a low VHF number. Rabbit ears do not pick up UHF. Adding a simple "loop" or "bow tie" UHF antenna to the ears could make a world of difference. And if not there are numerous outdoor antennas that are reasonably priced and not entirely unattractive. If you live way out in the country I can almost guarantee you'll need an outdoor antenna. But please, don't blame the converter box if you don't understand the technology. You need a UHF antenna and a strong enough signal to work with. I have had this converter for two months and it an excellent product with great features. I understand the technology from personal experience in the broadcasting industry. Thanks."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
