 works great until it breaksOct 26, 2009
I have had this unit for 18 months and it works as advertised you will get on screen menus if you use a HDMI cable. However after 18 months my unit would no longer turn on. Samsung service Department has been absolutely horrible to deal with. One month in and still no resolution.
 Great Product!Sep 14, 2009
Great receiver. I'm using it with my antenna and the HDMI and analog audio outputs. The ability to get the program guide is a real plus for this receiver! Good price, and fast shipping.

 SUCKS! TRY FOR A CABLE-FRIENDLY MODELAug 07, 2009
I had this product for years. Let me tell you, it is only good for STANDARD channels, but you can not watch the better Basic channels at all in Dallas. You're better off keeping that coaxial connection from the wall and TV rather than this... because cable channels haven't yet transferred their networks. Wait a few years.
A $150 for FREE HDTV over-the-air GREAT!Jun 25, 2009
If you have a real HDTV without its own digital tuner, common among earlier HDTVs this is GREAT!
I've had it for over a year and it works fine. I have to 're-boot' it once in a while when it loses some channel, but I've never adjust my UHF antenna. Signal is perfect.
It shouldn't cost over $150 though. More is just a rip-off.

Not a ConverterJun 13, 2009
Despite what the manual says - this DOES NOT WORK with traditional analog TV sets. It may work with an earlier analog HDTV set - but I repeat it does NOT WORK with your regular analog NTSC/cable ready etc TV/
Samsung technical support, while polite, are not helpful, and the product must be sent to a service center in NJ for "repairs". Their warranty is for repair only. I will be avoiding Samsung products in the future.
