Had slight problems but got them installed with relative ease for something with menus. Biggest trauma though was discovering the converted picture was only available in 2 odd versions: Letter box- thin height , full width, or "cropped", fills whole screen but distorts picture height making long faces. Then this am, a foggy morning audio and video intermittent, dropping out every few seconds for a second. **This is an improvement?* Now, I don't know if the crazy, limited choice of poorer than usual picture shape choices was done to try to get us to buy a whole new set or what? But what about this interupted signal- this is not better. Even the LCD or plasma sets are not better- they are not a complete piece of furniture of themselves and require the addition of some-thing like an entertainment centerto handle the other accessories. So there goes the whole one side of your room and more bucks. About as bad as coercing people into buying SUV's and then doubling the gas price! I bought 2 converters this week with coupons.

I returned it and bought her a push button version of the same phone for $18. Like 10 yrs ago I realized that my grandmother had been renting a rotary phone for like 20yrs

How long will it take to do the same for TV converters?? It took us nearly 50 years to get rid of the “leased” telephone set charges. How long will it take to do the same for TV converters??
