I've had my Apex converter box for just over a year and after not watching TV for about 5 months, I decided to give'er a go once again. Well, I've been plagued too with the "RED LIGHT" issue. It won't turn on. No green light. Just a flickering red light when I press the power button. When I purchased this box from Best Buy, the sales clerk told me the only difference between this Apex converter box ($20...Rebate covered half of that) and the other brand on sale for $40 was that you could control the other one by buttons on the unit as well as the remote. I figured, "hey no big deal, if the remote dies, I'll just get new batteries to operate it, why pay the extra money?" Well, I should have just bit the bullet and gone with the other one. I am fresh out of college, looking for work, don't want to pay for cable, and I can honestly say that taking a sledge hammer to this POS out on the street curb would offer me more entertainment anyday over watching reality TV on cable!
