I do actually have a good bit of electronics experience. I got one more HW180STB box, and it also failed within a year. Then I got two Mediasonic Homeworx HW180STB boxes.

When the broadcasts first switched to digital, I got two Zenith (made by LG?) DTT901 converter boxes. But I have some questions about it and the MediaSonic Forum doesn't seem to be accepting new members. So far it's better than I expected and VERY happy with it. In the second instance, once you get a unit that works, thank the heavens because now you can finally watch shows for free.Recently purchased a Mediasonic Homeworx HW180STB. In the first instance, you need to return it and get an HDTV antenna instead. Either you’re in an area where an HDTV Digital Converter Box simply doesn’t get many over-the-air signals, or you got a faulty unit and you need to have it replaced. That’s because they prove a most important point: some units may not work. While there are a lot more positive online reviews than negative ones, you may want to take note of the negative points nonetheless. So even if you have an old analog TV, you can still enjoy dozens of movies without having to set up a DVD player. One customer reported that he plugged in his 1TB hard disk and it worked great. The manual says that it supports a flash drive of up to just 64 GB, but that may not be entirely accurate, but that’s a good thing. It’s also a USB multimedia player, which gives even your old analog TV the ability to play movies from a USB stick even if the TV doesn’t have a USB port. For example, there’s a parental control function so that your kids may be prevented from watching truly atrocious and disturbing TV shows, such as the news. There are also other features as well that you might find convenient. The auto tuning function finds the available TV signals and then configures the settings for the best picture.

If that’s the only reason why you have cable TV, then it’s time to switch to an HDTV Digital Converter Box so that you can save tons of money.

Some people just rely on cable services just to make sure they get clear TV signals from their local broadcast stations, and the HomeWorx HW180STB makes those monthly fees unnecessary. In fact, it can offer 1080P HD Digital TV shows, which can really boost your viewing experience without requiring monthly fees. That’s the most basic function, and it does it quite well.
