Review on 📺 Coby DTV102: Black ATSC Standard-Definition Converter Box for Optimal TV Viewing Experience by Phillip Hoover

Converter boxes will be in short supply in the coming months. Favorite brands were sold out at Revain so we grabbed those. ALLOWS analog passthrough. It has a menu option to set the time zone, but no option to turn off daylight saving time, which can be an issue in Arizona. The program guide will only guide ONE program ahead (some brands advance 3-4 hours). The big annoyance is that the included COBY remote turns off the connected Sanyo TV when you press the upper channel button. ! and other buttons on the COBY remote control result in different menus and input channels appearing on the TV at the wrong time! I noticed that the COBY remote control for DVD players does the same thing on hotel room TVs! I LOVED the menu option that allows you to program the screen orientation (widescreen, letterbox, fullscreen) to "Set by Program" which is where I set it. One weird thing about this DTV box (I have 3 other brands and they are just visual) for the channel signal strength band, it ALSO has a beep that corresponds to the signal strength! Was going to return it as it bothers the TV but decided to sidestep the issues and leave the box (press the up button again, the TV turns back on!) as my favorite brands (GE, RCA) are sold out. out!
