Philips SCP020 Indoor Passive UHF/VHF/FM/HDTV Antenna Review

I purchased this antenna at a nearby store when I disconnected my cable. I live in a strong signal area for both vhf and uhf signals. The antenna pulls in all the strong stations with some noise in the picture. The tuning circuit helps to fine tune some stations. There are definitely better antennas on the market and I would not recommend this product unless you are in immediate need for an antenna and can pick it up locally for fairly cheap.

16X Write-once DVD+r Spindle Review

I picked up these dvds because of the great price that I found them at. I figured "They Magavox, how bad could they be". Well, I used over half of the dvds and so far I've created a large pile of useless coasters. Most of them have either errored out or have been unplayable on any of my dvd players. In hind sight I wish I had payed twice as much for discs that work. What a waste of money. You've been warned.

Magnavox MANT-075 VHF/UHF/FM Behind the Set Indoor Antenna Review

I'm so upset about that so called antenna because it wasn't what I order. I order the one that you plug into an wall outlet. That antenna didn't work because I live between two mountains. The only thing I like was the little hicky that attaches the antenna to the television. So next time I order anything from your company I'll make double sure you understand what I'm buying.Thanks

Magnavox DP100MW8 Progressive Scan DVD Player, Black Review

Sure, this isn't the greatest DVD player ever made, but I've had it for about a year and it works just the way it should.
But $78? What the hell, Amazon? I bought this exact same player last year at Wal-Mart for $25. In fact the reason I bought it was because it's the cheapest player Wal-Mart sells.

Sylvania NB500SL9 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player with HDMI Cable Review

Got this a few weeks ago as the daily special-$130, seemed too reasonable to pass up. Wasn't willing to shell out over $200. Have only watched a few movies, but blu ray definitely is crystal clear. As many have said, regular dvds upconvert to almost blu ray quality, and you pay almost this much for an upconverting player. Load time is fine, also have an HD dvd player, both take about 20 seconds. What's the big deal? Haven't downloaded firmware yet, may wait to see if certain movies cause problems, as I've read some had problems after downloading firmware. Overall, a great purchase!

Magnavox DP170MW8 Up Converting HDMI DVD Player, Black Review

I bought this DVD player to compliment my new Sanyo DP26649 26' 720p HDTV. I didn't want to spend a ton of money on an upconverting DVD player because the TV was only $295. Thus, I decided to go with this DVD player.


Pros:
Cheap
Doesn't skip or stutter on any of my DVDs
Can play a surprisingly wide range of file formats


Cons:
*Terrible at upconverting*


The reason I starred the con is because it's the main reason I bought this DVD player and it's the main draw of the DVD player. I tried all the different output settings compatible with my TV (480p, 720p, 1080i), and they all looked the same. The picture was decent, but not as good as an upconverted DVD should look. I own an Xbox 360 and use it for upconverting DVDs on my bedroom TV (a Samsung ToC 40' 1080p HDTV). When watching upconverted DVDs on my 360, I notice a significant quality difference when compared to a non-upconverted picture. That quality difference is absent here.

Final word: If you want a cheap DVD player that can play a wide variety of file formats, you may consider this one. However, if you want a DVD for upconverting, stay away from this one, because quite simply, it just doesn't do a very good job at all when it comes to upconverting.

Magnavox TB100MG9 Digital to Analog TV Converter Box, Silver Review

I purchased two of these converter boxes. I would not recommend them to any friends. One is for my kitchen TV that is using a very large outside antenna, the other in my craft room, using a `rabbit ear' antenna, purchased from Radio Shack. Neither of the TV's is useful anymore. They do not hold a signal and at best only two stations per TV. I called FCC and they said, after my description, it was the fault of the boxes. I called Magnavox to see what their solution would be. They are SURE it is NOT their converter boxes but the fault of the antennas. It's a good thing I got them with a coupon; I would be VERY upset if I had paid cash! Wish they could be useful as a paper weight or some sort of wall art; for sure they cannot be depended on for catching the new digital signals.

Magnavox ZV457MG9 Dual Deck DVD/VCR Combo with Built-in Tuner, Black Review

I've only had this product for a week, so I can't address reliability--only design and function.

Overall, this is a good unit that does what it needs to do at a reasonable price. It does take some time to learn how to use this unit, and some things are not intuitive, so be sure to sit down and actually read the manual as you do things.

This unit has a DVD recorder and a VCR--which is handy for transferring old videos to DVD. However, if you have commercial VHS tapes, it will not let you dub those to DVD (due to copyright restrictions--if you try, it says this program is not allowed to be recorded.) The process for dubbing from VHS to DVD is pretty straightforward--set up the parameters and press a button and let it go until you tell it to stop or it senses that you have come to the end of the recording on the tape.

The editing process is a little more challenging. If you want to input title names, you have to use the remote like you are text messaging (eg press 1 three times to get the letter C). Also, the manual does not tell you this, but if you are not using RW discs, any chapter marks that you add will not be read by any other machines. (When you press skip during playback, you advance to the next chapter mark.) You can add manual chapter marks that are read by this machine, but when another DVD player is reading the finalized disc, it only recognizes the chapters that were auto-generated. On RW discs, manual chapter marks do show up. You can set the frequency of the auto-chapters--I used 5 minutes.

I tested this machine with +R, -R, +RW, and -RW and it worked as advertised with all of them. Both the +R and -R worked with my two other DVD players. The RW discs were not recognized by my older (2002) Sony DVD/VCR combo. The difference between +RW and -RW is that you don't have to go through the finalization process on the +RW discs, though there is a process called "Make Edits Compatible" that you need instead. I used Sony and TDK discs and they worked fine. I did not try Memorex discs because I have had problems with those in the past. Supposedly, the -R/-RW standard is more compatible than the plus versions. I found the distinction in compatibility to be more about whether it was R (single burn) or RW (rewritable).

It also has a digital tuner (standard definition) that works as well or better than the Zenith digital converter box I was using before in terms of pulling in channels and keeping a good picture. It also can tune analog channels, though there are none near me anymore. It does have an onscreen program guide that tells you the channel, signal strength, name of the program, and a program description. It does not tell you the length of the program or any programs that will be on afterwards. It does have the ability to record TV onto DVD (and VHS--some other units don't let you do this) and you can program the timer to record your show.

In general, the buttons on the remote are small and not well thought out. I was also disappointed that the remote lacks a button for changing aspect ratio; doesn't control the TV; and lacks some other basic buttons related to TV watching. Don't lose the remote either--it is integral to using 90% of the functions. It does have a few interesting bells and whistles: There is a commercial skip button to use during DVD playback that automatically jumps 30 seconds ahead. There is also a feature where you can tell the VCR to go forward a certain number of minutes.
Also, this unit tends to "think" slowly--whether loading discs, changing channels, etc., you have to wait for it. It ultimately does get the job done and the wait is just a little longer than what you might expect. It's not a deal breaker, just a minor quirk.

Overall, this unit compares favorably to others out there, even ones that are more expensive. I compared this with a Panasonic unit that cost about $300 and found that this had more functionality because the Panasonic unit was geared to use DVD-RAM discs. On that one, you could use R or RW but with limited editing ability. If you are looking at any DVD recorder, go online, find the manual, and read closely through it (this one's at [...]Carefully compare functions, paying special attention to what functions are available with each specific type of discs.

In general it is more complicated to record to DVD than VHS, so any DVD recorder is going to be complicated. This one doesn't do much to simplify that, but it does offer most of the functions that a combo unit like this should have at a reasonable price.
