Conversion Box

3 years ago
Unit appeared to power up however was unable to obtain and transfer signal. Although unit presented "No Signal" a very faint ghost image was presented on my old analog tv. This may have been a rare defective or damaged unit and had already been returned once to the bargain shelf. This unit has already been returned for refund.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Unsatisfied

The closed captioning doesn't work on CBC. The remote is very small and requires a special battery, which isn't mentioned on the box. The battery compartment is very hard to open, I almost gave up.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Closes caption is from the signal provider our device can only show what come through with the signal. Yes they are smaller sized remotes. The battery compartment opens easily I find when using a pen. Just push to the side and outwards. I hope this helps and we do thank you for purchasing our product. RCAAV

Waste of money. Do not buy it.

Bought this box to hook up cable to an older plasma tv. Did not work at all. I already have a $15 digital rabbit ears, which makes this box obsolete. Got no signal or channels. My TV did not detect this box at all.

Q: what does it do?

14 years ago
4 Answers
  • A: The Canadian Tire Team still has it wrong. The broadcast signal is digital, the old TV is analogue. The product converts the signal from Digital to Analogue. This was pointed out in an earller comment, but CT team has repeated the error in the previous post.

  • A: Hey Francois, Merci pour votre question. Malheureusement non. Le convertisseur reçoit le signal numérique d'une antenne et le change pour que le convertisseur l'utilise. Pour le câble, vous devez contacter votre câblodistributeur.
