    Buying this product was just one of the very few good decisions I've made this year. Bought and tried another brand and finally had to get my money back. I bought this one for about $10 dollars less and got twice the product. Very easy to program and easy to use and works better than I expected. Don't be afraid of this item.

    First off, not even a 900 number for technical support, right off the bat that shows the quality of the company that sells this product.
    I live inside the DC Beltway, and this unit is just terrible with reception, and tiles constantly. I bought a new digital antena for it, no dice, still awful.
    First off it goes through a 10 minute scan, and there is no feature for tuning the direction of the antena. Once you move the antena to say try to get NBC, you lose other programs from the scanned list. Only work around I have found was to guestimate the best antena direction and restart the horrible 10 minute scan.
    I have NO idea how this product is rated almost 4 stars, maybe I got a bum unit, but ZERO technical support is just unacceptable.
    I am going to go down to radioshack or one of the retail stores to hand test one, just sucks I blew the money on this "item".
