Tigerdirect TV converter box ripoff Durham North Carolina
I purchased two Access (brand) from GXI in Clayton,NC model DTA 1080D TV converter boxes from tigerdirect. Brought them home to find their operation and design very poor. It takes about 5 minutes to load auto program. The switching between channels takes several seconds. The picture is broken on most channels. Tigerdirect just told me sorry they will not help me. Access (GXI) told me if I sent them in and they find no problem they charge me ten dollar for testing on each. Went this quality, "I feel" they would not find a burn resistor. A UNHAPPY CUSTOMER of tigerdirect. This was all in the warrantry period. For a test I purchased a Magnavox TV converter from Walmart, with my antenna which work GREAT. It is not my antenna.

After talking with a couple managers they let me swap converter boxes from Access to APEX. The Apex is very much a better product. The channel are few for now, but believe as they switch it will be more. I live in the country. APEX is a good product. THANKS Tigerdirect for listening.
