Type of review

The picture quality isn't as good as the other two (APEX and INSIGNIA) I've used. However, the main problem is that the device keeps losing channel 2 when it goes offline for a while.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Boring packaging

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Non-automatic

  • Decent performance
