Lightweight Instant Hunting blind and rain shelter.
I've had one of these for over ten years and finally had to get a replacement. I've used it mostly as an instant blind but has also really made my day the couple times it was able to keep me dry when it was raining and I was sitting on the ground hunting.
It is relatively light weight and compact. I stow it on the top of my daypack, held in with straps. It is a great addition to any deer hunter who still-hunts who now and then wants to set up a temporary blind to watch over a deer trail.

One of the better TV DAC units but limited in abilities
I've tested several brands of the non-DVR digital to analog converter (DAC) units including, those by Magnavox and RCA. II have it working in conjunction with a VCR to record shows I want to watch later. My experience is using this to get a two local stations and about 4 and sometimes 5 stations up to 90 miles away using an 8-bay bow-tie antenna with a mast mounted signal amplifier.
Here are a list of the features I like:
* The CM-7000 tends to get channels the other DACs could not, including the one in my new Sony flat-screen TV.
* It has the best menu features with show descriptions for upcoming shows.
* It allows updates to the channel scan (a supplemental scan) to allow adding channels depending on antenna direction. (This is important for those with rotators on their antennas.)
Here are the limitations of the CM-7000:
* It cannot control a external device for recording of shows nor can it be programmed to tune to a new channel at a future date/time. For my recording I must pre-tune the DAC to the channel that I want to record.
* This is the big problem: These DACs have an issue with the capacitors on the logic board overheating and disabling the tuner. There are people who will sell the kits of the capacitors you need to replace the old ones but doing so is not for someone who does not have experience with soldering on printed circuit boards and good equipment. I've had two of these CM-7000 need the capacitors replaced but only one was I able to fix.
* The newer Channel Master DVR+ is comparable but because it has two independent tuners, with the signal strength to each about 3dB less than the combined input, it cannot get the weaker stations. Its menu structure is not as nice as the CM-7000.

You get what you pay for.
This was easy to hook up but the converter distorts the picture. I found darkened the image on the screen quite a bit that came from my DVD player . I was not able to readjust the TV settings to offset this.
As it turns out I never needed it after I realized that I could hook up the DVD player in a different way. I then was able to confirm that the image was better with the direct hookup.
The primary issue was the image coming from the converter being darkened quite a bit so that images with lots of shadows are not reproduced well.
