I have been looking for a reasonably priced digital tuner box for quite some time. My cable company began going all digital and I was losing quite a few analog cable stations every few weeks. Spotted this box a few weeks ago and although the quality is not quite as good as the much higher priced boxes on the market. I had a very difficult time setting up the box to tune in the digital stations. The first evening I gave up after a few hours and tried again the following night. Somehow I switched one of the settings in the onscreen menu and it began tuning in the digital stations just fine. As a prior reviewer has mentioned it seems to pick up new channels and drop other ones which had been previously pre- tuned every time you do a channel scan. I did note something a few days later that if you manually input the digital channel (including the "dash"----like 64-12) the channel would come in just fine even though it had not been "pre-tuned" while doing the initial channel scans. I ended up with more channels than before the cable company started going digital. I am also able to receive quite a few HD digital channels which are quite "pixelly" on my older analog TV. Try to get a listing of the channel lineup from your provider and you should be able to tune all they offer even though they will not be in the box's memory. All in all a good tuner for the price as long as it keeps working!

This digital tuner really deserves a half star at best. Menu navigation is slow. The onscreen graphical user interface is difficult to read, and the device takes seemingly forever (up to 15 seconds) to react to the remote control. The video output is actually pretty bad.The only positive thing I can say about the Iview 2000STB is that it is cheap, so I only wasted [$]. It was definitely not worth it.

I used this for a few days on a TV without a QAM tuner - it seemed to work OK although the interface was not simple to understand. After just 6 weeks of light use it failed to power. I called the company, they want me to pay shipping both ways and they'll send me a new box. Hardly worth the effort...

I have cable TV. I set up my new Digital Converter Box to scan for channels. It took 20-30 minutes and found 75. Unfortunatly it left a number of channels available from my cable TV provider out. Nor were the channels syncted with the cable box channels. It's hard to remember ABC is channel 2-243 or 34-86, etc. Not one channel was a single digit.

I purchased this product for my Mother, who with a fixed income cannot afford the high cost of cable tv. I hooked it up for her, and ran the chanel search, and was amased at the number of free digtal channels this box was able to get for her. I'm seriousley thinking about dropping my cable tv and getting a few of these boxes for my house. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone that is tired of paying the high cost of cable tv but still wants to enjoy watching a clear television picture .

I use it on an analog tv I am not ready to replace yet but is no longer compatible with my cable. The digital QAM is compatible with this converter and the picture on my tv is as clear as it always was. This is a great way to keep those analog tvs going when the analog channels go away.
The only down side I am aware of so far is I now need two remotes to operate my tv.

Comments about RJ Technology Inc. IVIEW 2000STB Digital Converter Box:
Yes it does work on digital cable receiving all "clear Qam" (unscrambled) channels. This is why I bought it.[One reviewer says it doesn't work!] Just press the air/cbl button on the remote so it says cable. Select menu/auto search and wait until it's done scanning @100% (~30 minutes). I then used the skimpy remote to program a "learning" remote. It beats renting a DTA from the cable company for $1.99/Mo. If all you want is basic cable (receiving only local channels) then get this converter box. I did not deduct a star for the remote since I replaced it with a learning (programmable) remote.
