Top positive review
5.0 out of 5 starsWorks very well but feels a little retro

My old Sylvania set top box had become uneconomical to keep repairing, so I opted for a new unit to use with my projector based system
It came packaged very well - but as others have mentioned, no batteries were included for the remote, which is rather odd these days but by no means a reason to not purchase it
Installation took literally seconds - as I had everything there ready to go
Power up asks for your country and time zone - then it sets about automatically tuning in to the locally available stations
My old hardware usually found around ten channels - this found twenty! Quite pleasantly surprised, but some of them do break up a little, and so my antenna will need a tweak
Quite why the Dolby Audio label is on the front, I don’t know - every STB I have used over the last several years all had this capability and didn’t feel the need to shout about it
Overall, very good and quite satisfied - the remote codes will be transferred to my Philips Universal Remote and then I’ll be perfectly happy
Go ahead and buy this - you shouldn’t regret it
