What about the other TV?
Hopefully by now, your home TV is ready for the DTV transition. It did happen in July, after all. So either you made sure the transition didn't effect you, or you haven't watched TV in the past several months. But when you prepared for DTV, did you ready all your TVs or just the one you watch most? What about that TV in the bedroom that's only good for movies now? How about the set in the camper? Maybe you just added an old TV to the kitchen and want to catch Rachael Ray around lunch. Perhaps you think it'd be neat to add TV programming to your computer monitor to catch the news at nine. In any case, you want to watch over-the-air programming, but you don't have a digital tuner, or a ton of space for that matter. Simple. All you need is the Access DTA1080. This compact digital-to-analog box receives input from your antenna, then converts the digital signal now broadcast into an analog signal the TV can make sense of. It outputs the signal using either a coaxial cable like your antenna has or a composite RCA cable, along with RCA stereo audio outputs. It's the perfect solution for second or third TVs since it's the smallest DTA box you'll find around. It even comes with a full-featured remote! Before long, digital converter boxes will be hard to find as everyone becomes completely digital-ready, so don't delay — order today!

The box worked great for approx 1.5 years. It seemed to get overheated at times and after that long it is no longer working. Have tried contacting the company it came from but never get any response.

We have just installed our fifth box on a 46 yacht in order to upgrade the non digital ready TVs. The boxes are small and compact and work very well.

I am so pleased with Vanns on this product. Delivered in a timely fashion, easy installation and IT WORKS!. I bought 4 converter boxes from another company. I used one for about 6 months and suddenly it just went out. I couldnt turn it back on back manually or by remote. I disconnected it and opened up a box of a second of my four. Installed it. Same problem. After going through this process to fourth and last that didnt work. I phoned the company for replacements or a refund. I was told the ticket had been executed to the warehouse and to call back in three days. I did call back every three days for 6 weeks. No television for 6 weeks. I finally got on line and thank goodness I find Vanns. An employee owned and operated business! Found my converter box at a reasonable price. Upon opening my package after prompt delivery I was impressed by the compact sleek design. Installation was simple and the delight . It worked and so did my television! And it is still working. Now.........do I waste my time fighting over my four boxes of junk? Or throw them in the trash. Shelly Fuller Minneapolis, MN
