I bought a Funai and I love it!

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!

My first credit card was one from Sears! My later one also is labeled "Sears", but is issued by CITI. It's probably the last one that will be labeled as such.
The interest rate is criminal, but I pay the balance every due date, so I never pay interest.
It's hard to believe what happened to them.
