There have been a good number of problems related to the MicroGem MG2000 failing within several months of operation. If this happens in can be exchange with the manufacturer while under warranty. The main cause seems to be overheating so it is important to be sure that you do not over up the air vents. Any reception related issues can be fixed by getting a good digital TV antenna.
Product Details: The Microgem MG 2000 has been reported to be providing users with a pretty darn good picture. Its picture quality is rated in the top tier and is a step below DVD quality. This converter also provides excellent sound quality that is better than what you might be use to with an analog broadcast. This converter box currently sells for between $50-$60 depending on when and where you make your purchase.
The MG2000 is one of the smallest converter boxes on the market which makes it easy and convenient for placement on top of your TV. It also comes with a program guide that gives information on current and upcoming shows. It however only shows what shows are upcoming it does not give a description of these shows. This converter box also allows users to either auto scan for channels or manually set each channel. An on screen signal strength guide is included in order to help with channel tuning. This converter boxes major downside is that it does not come with analog pass-through.
This converter box is a mid to low rated converter box. Despite its good picture and sound quality it is not rated high because it doesn't have analog pass-through and it has been reported to failing with only a short life span. I better choice would be to get either the Tivax STB-T8 or Dish Network DTVPal Plus.
