Question 2

How do you get the radio part to work?

Accepted Answer

I can only speak for the Atlanta area and my converter, but I used to get ch 32- 1 thru 32- 19  and most of the sub-channels were FM radio stations in the Atlanta area. I just looked and ch 32 no longer exists. If you don't find any channels with audio only, you don't have radio on your converter.

Question 3

What is the purpose of the USB port?  Can I record programs to a flash drive?

Question 4

I have a 480p older (2003) TV set.  Will this down-convert HDTV channels to the 480p set? I have a choice of S-video or component for input on the TV as well as coax.

Accepted Answer

I bought this for my grandfather and it works great on his TV. His TV is older TV not a flat panel. I'm not sure the recording would set to 480p. I have a hard time reading some of the text in the menus, but no problem on the CC or regular shows.

Question 5

I set it up, but looking at the instructions it looks like there are other connections that I need to purchase. Is that correct?

Accepted Answer

no
