Sylvania 2870LV 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
Saved me from buying a $40 Convertor+a $20 Universal Remote
I have a TV which is not &quot;cable-ready&quot;--it does not display stations above channel 40.  Oddly enough, the convertor box at my local wholesale club is priced $40.00 and I was ready to purchase it.   Addtionally, I was in the market for a universal remote control for which I  was willing to spend $20, but not more than that.  These two items total  $60.  For an additional $40 I purchased this VCR which eliminates the need  for both items plus it gave me VCR+ capabilities which I did not have  previously.  (The manufacturer states that the remote that comes with this  VCR is compatible with the following Brands of TV:  FISHER, FUNAI, GE,  GOLDSTAR, HITACHI, MAGNAVOX, PANASONIC, PANASONIC-GA00, PHILCO, PHILIPS,  QUASER, RCA, SAMSUNG, SANYO, SHARP, SONY, SYMPHONIC, &amp; TOSHIBA. (I  cannot vouch that it works with all of these, since I only own 2 TVs.)  The  remote has a button to select a CABLE BOX; a second one to control a TV;  and a third to control the VCR.)  Mine did not sound like a &quot;747  taking off in my living room&quot; and I am EXTREMELY sensitive to  noises--to the point that they can trigger migraines.  The customer's  review which states that his did sound like &quot;747&quot; did not deter  me from ordering since I would have promptly and without hesitation  returned mine if mine did. I am very pleased with this purchase.
