I just came home with a Channel Master CM-7000. The young ladies at the thrift store were amused to see me bring my own Sony FD-285 "Watchman" and a two bay bowtie, to be sure that it worked.
I still had the remote from when I had a CM-7000 that I had bought at a hamfest. Discovered that it was DOA when I got home. Changed the lytics, which fixed nothing.
I'm sure that this is the only thing I've ever owned that is made in Bulgaria!
Oh. About the Zenith/Insignia boxes crashing: I saw this happen when they were brand new. If anything, it seems to occur less frequently now.
I have an Ikonvert box (with Component and HDMI outputs, and a USB port for recording onto a flash drive) that tends to crash if there is a problem with the signal while recording.
