The 1956 Philco that started this thread has trouble with both digital converter and VCR. The VCR is way better than the digital converter. If I remember right the converter seemed to have some sort of interference, while the VCR signal seemed a little weak with low volume. I haven't checked the tuner and I.F strip tubes yet. Again, the set played fine when I had an analog signal. It seems like years ago I used a VCR with this set with no trouble. Channels 3 and 4 have seen little or no use for many years. Perhaps a good cleaning is in order. I just don't feel like dirt would be the whole problem here....

My 1949 RCA uses a digital converter, VCR/DVD combo with no trouble. Interesting......
