On a side note ... I used to like working at Sears. Good company back then. Sad what they are now.
Magnavox DTV convertors are a Funai product. They're not as sensitive as the Zenith, Insignia and a few others. They need a outdoor antenna or be closer to the signal source, but are very reliable.
I've had to replace electrolytic caps in the Digital Stream units and the Zenith, Insignia twins.
I have a couple of Philips small color sets that work well.
There isn't too much love for Funai products in the UK either!
