Review: This product is compatible with the Vizio Chromecast Television. - I am one of the few people that purchased the Vizio Chromecast TV's which were only in stores for one year. It is basically a computer monitor with a built in ROKU. You will need this product if you have the same TV and want to add local channels. It allows you to convert coaxial to HDMI. It worked perfectly. I did purchase a HDMI cable separately just to be sure. The channel quality is decent on some channels, better on others. Since I don't have cable I just wanted to make sure I am able to still see the news if my internet goes out. (This has happened multiple times). Overall, good product.
Review: Meets expectations. - This was purchased as a gift for my mom. She uses an antenna to get local stations over the air and we live in an area that is transitioning to ATSC 3.0 which her current television has a tuner for. Unfortunately, stations in the area are implementing DRM on the broadcasts that block shows and live sports. The area still broadcasts ATSC 1.0 for these stations, so this tuner is meant to provide access to stations that currently are not supported on the newer tuner. This box meets expectations for the price. The digital picture looks good on the TV and the installation was straight forward. It found the local stations with no issue with just an indoor antenna. The remote control buttons are sometimes not as responsive as I would like. Because of this, I gave this 4 stars. It meets my expectations, but does not exceed them.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this box work without the cable outlet on the back of the tv?**
A: I have an older TV that only has UHF/VHF antenna connections. There is a UHF/VHF converter adapter that allows you to plug in coax cable. If this box allows coax out to the TV you can use the adapter. Look for the adapter on here. It only costs a few dollars.

**Q: Does the converter box help pick up tv station's.**
A: I bought the converter box because my TV is twenty years old and is not capable of picking up a digital signal. The converter box with an ANTENNA makes it possible for me to get the over the air free stations. If you have a newer TV the digital converter is built in the TV set and you should not need the converter box. All you will need is an antenna.

**Q: My tv is tc-p50ut50 i don't know if i need ?it, could you please check it**
A: just try it, this will receive digital transmitted TV signals

**Q: The power cord / adapter has failed on 2 of 3 units I have purchased.  I need replacement cords but where di I get them?**
A: Should be able to get them on Amazon. Otherwise, I don’t know.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 star customer service from Mediasonic (Homeworx)
*by V***O on October 11, 2023*

I bought this product months earlier than I actually intended to use it but once I finally did use it it worked perfectly for about 2 weeks and completely just died. Would not even turn on. But by then Amazon’s return policy had passed. So I had to either take the L on this or try contacting the manufacturer which I did. Surprisingly the manufacturer’s support team immediately responded and shipped me a replacement that same day. The usually frustrating process was almost as effortlessly as it was expeditiously. This is what great customer service looks and feels like. Now they have a customer for life.
