Summary: Disappointing performance
Review: I bought this modulator to hook my new DVD player up to a 10-year old tv. It was $5 less than the regular modulator. There was a consistent buzz in the audio and an occassional green streak across the screen. I thought my television might be too old to handle the digital video, so ended up returning the DVD player. I decided to try a different player with the same modulator, but I had the same problems. Finally, I thought maybe a regular (not mini-) modulator might help. I got the regular $25 Terk modulator and my DVD player works perfectly with my television. This one might just be trying to stuff too much hardware in too little space.

Summary: One big problem
Review: I bought this modulator to use with the old TV in my bedroom and to use with the TV at work. The performance at work is awful, and the performance at home is somewhat better than awful.

At work, the static/buzzing drowns out the audio. At home, the static is intermittent, and therefore only hugely annoying. Pay the extra money for a good one.

Summary: waste of money, very disappointed
Review: I purchased this so i can connnect a dvd player to a tv/vcr combo without having to deal with the "light to dark" effect caused by the copy protection encoded on some dvd discs.

I have no intention of copying dvds to tapes. I just wanted to watch the movies without getting distracted/annoyed by the constant change in the brightness of the movie. Well, this product actually makes it worse. There's a buzzing sound and the picture has a greenish/purplish tint to it and lots of distortion.

The product has a nice design, compact, and has a low price, but that's all it has going for it. It just doesn't work as expected.

I'd suggest buying a higher priced RF modulator that works than trying to save some money on this piece of junk.

Summary: Very poor performance
Review: This modulator is a waste of money and is junk. The loud, distracting hum is annoying and the picture quality is very poor. I tried it on two tv's (one quite new) and two dvd players and found the same results on both. Spend the money and get a good one.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Do not buy
Review: This product absolutely does not work. There is a constant buzz in the audio and the video has bright streaks going through everything. Heed the advice of all of the reviews on this product and get something else.
