Perhaps I've been lucky or just haven't used it that long. None of the glitches I've read about have happened so far. I'm currently using it on my old Sony 27" CRT-based TV set (I eventually plan to get a TV with built-in ATSC tuner, so this is just a temporary solution.I miss getting all the US stations on my TV).īeen using it about a week now, and here's my observations. All the different models of the Access HD are no different from one another, it's just the coloring of the case housing (excluding the model with universal remote and smart antenna support).Īnyhow I caved and bought the Access HD from Futureshop last weekend. Apparently, from what I understand, it's identical to the DTA 1080A Tiger Direct is selling for $33.99. What they're selling is the Access HD (model: DTA 1030A) for $49.99.

Not sure if it was mentioned here, but Futureshop is finally selling a digital-to-analog converter box once again (they pulled the Apex DT250 several months ago, apparently due to a high rate of failure?).
