RCA DTA809

The RCA DTA809 is an ENERGY STAR qualified digital-to-analog converter box engineered to convert DTV signals into convetional analog. As well as transmitting digital signals, this converter box also utilizes analog pass-through to allow viewing of still-in-operation analog stations. Plus, the DTA809 features an Electronic Programming Guide (EPG) that makes it easier for users to decide what to watch. Essentially, the EPG creates a list of broadcasts that are currently showing. Additional features of the RCA DTA809 DTV box include a smart antena interface (better transmissions), a universal remote (controls multiple TV brands), and parental controls. The RCA DTA809 retails for $79.99 and is eligible for a government coupon discount.

I bought one in Jan '09 to test it out and found it easy to use. I could not get the remote to work with my TV, which is fairly new. So in Jun I bought another one for my Mom and my Old JVC TV so she could watch TV. I haven't tried to use the remote with that TV since my Mom is rather older and can't remember how to use the remote and I didn't want her to get even more confused with the new remote after she finally got comfortable with the TV remote. We both have reception problems with the box which hasn't been cleared up, but what can you do...
