D2A TV Converters Again--Technical Question

[Donna]

Donna Says:
Lee, I may be mistaken but I believe the TV converters are meant to be used
with televisions still connected to the old fashioned, on-the-roof antennas
or rabbit ears, not with cable, satellite, or laser TV.  I'm planning to get
one for "just in case" for times like now when we've lost cable because of
remnants of hurricane Ike blowing through Ohio.  

Lee:  
Hi Friends,

First of all, I'm feeling great! In fact, got a date in NYC with my brother
on Friday for an interesting expo on accessible tech and stuff, so I've
gotta polish my walking shoes and, BRRR, actually find a jacket to wear as
it's going to be a might chilly. It should be a fun time...and a *Long*
day! :-)

I just got one of these TV converters, a Magnavox TB100MW9. I installed the
thing and tried to do a set-up and get the words, "No Signal." Duh--why?
I'm running cable so there's most definitely a signal. Everything is
definitely hooked up correctly. Has anyone else here had experience with
this particular model? Is it one that can only be fixed by taking a hammer
to it? :-)

Thanks for any ideas y'all might have; I welcome any and every. Meantime,
methinks me should quell the growling of my stomach. :-)

Cheers,

Lee :-)
